Today we continue the Congressional COVIDCalls with my guest, US Representative from THE MA-4, Jake Auchincloss.
Jake Auchincloss represents the 4th district of MA in the US House of Representatives.  He was born and raised in Newton, Massachusetts, the son of a surgeon and scientist. From the moment he could read, Jake loved American history.
After graduating from Harvard College, Rep. Auchincloss joined the Marines. He commanded infantry in Afghanistan and special operations in Panama. He's now a major in the reserves.
He won election to the Newton City Council in 2015 and topped the ticket in 2019. His favorite part of being a city councilor was constituent services and communication.  He chaired the transportation & public safety committee and was a member of the land use committee. While serving as a city councilor on nights and weekends, he managed teams at both a Fortune 100 and a startup. He led product development in cybersecurity and insurance. He has degrees in economics and finance from Harvard College and MIT Sloan.
Rep. Auchincloss lives in Newtonville with his wife, Michelle; their son, Teddy; and their Labrador Retriever, Donut.
