Christopher Thrasher is an attorney, public policy advocate, small business owner, and dedicated Westport resident with a strong commitment to improving the South Coast.

As a member of the Westport School Committee and Westport Finance Committee, Christopher is deeply involved in addressing the issues that affect the cities and towns of the 8th district, and communities all across the Commonwealth.

Thrasher’s decision to run for State Representative stems from his growing concern over the impact of state-level decisions on local communities. He believes in advocating for real solutions and fighting against policies that burden local governments with unfunded mandates.

Christopher’s roots in Massachusetts run deep. A graduate of UMass Dartmouth and UMass School of Law, he has spent his career advocating for fair and effective policies that benefit all residents of the Commonwealth.

His experience as a small business owner and legal professional has given him firsthand knowledge of the challenges that families, seniors, and entrepreneurs face in today’s economy.

Thrasher’s platform focuses on reforming outdated funding formulas, protecting the South Coast from the harmful impacts of offshore wind development, improving senior housing security, and making Massachusetts a more small-business-friendly state.

Christopher lives in Westport with his better half, Arianna, and their infant daughter. He is committed to making the 8th Bristol District a place where families can grow, businesses can thrive, and communities can prosper- and to ensuring that the voices of Acushnet, Fall River, Freetown, New Bedford, and Westport are heard loud and clear on Beacon Hill.
