Joshua Tarsky is a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, representing the 13th Norfolk District. After 9/11, Tarsky couldn't quite shake the question "why not me?" leading him to enlist in the U.S. Army as a Special Forces (Green Beret) soldier. Throughout his military service, Josh saw firsthand how crucial sound laws and a strong education system are to a society's well-being. After returning stateside, Tarsky worked in education until being elected in 2024. He continues his military service as a Major and Judge Advocate General in the Massachusetts National Guard.
