A Practical Approach to Public Service

Decades of municipal leadership, regional planning, and public service — before and during his time at the State House.

A lifelong South Coast resident, Representative Steve Ouellette has spent decades serving local communities through municipal leadership, regional planning, infrastructure initiatives, and public service. Before joining the Massachusetts House of Representatives, Steve served multiple terms on the Westport Select Board and held leadership roles focused on economic development, transportation, infrastructure oversight, and community planning.

His professional background in public facilities management and the skilled trades continues to shape his practical, solutions-focused approach to government. Today, he remains focused on supporting local communities, strengthening public infrastructure, promoting economic opportunity, and ensuring residents have access to responsive constituent services throughout the 8th Bristol District.
