## Political career

Prior to running for office, Michlewitz worked for the Former [Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives](/source/List_of_Speakers_of_the_Massachusetts_House_of_Representatives) Sal DiMasi as his Constituent Services Director from 2004 until DiMasi's resignation on January 27, 2009.

Michlewitz was elected in a special election following the resignation of [Salvatore DiMasi](/source/Salvatore_DiMasi) in 2009.[1]

Michlewitz currently serves as the House Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.[2] He has previously served as Chairman of the Joint Committee on Financial Services, the Joint Committee on Public Service, and the Joint Committee on Election Laws.

In 2016, Michlewitz was a leading author of Massachusetts's landmark legislation dealing with Transportation Network Companies like Uber and Lyft.[3] Michlewitz has also worked on crafting legislation that would regulate Short-Term residential rentals such as Airbnb.[4]

## Personal life

Michlewitz and his wife, Maria, live in the North End.[5]

Despite being pronouncedly more politically [moderate](/source/Political_moderate) than Boston Mayor [Michelle Wu](/source/Michelle_Wu) (who is herself a [progressive](/source/Progressivism_in_the_United_States)), Michlewitz and Wu share a close personal friendship.[6][7] Reporter Emma Platoff, of *[The Boston Globe](/source/The_Boston_Globe)*, wrote in 2025 that the two appear to share a years-long "genuine friendship", rather than a political alliance. Wu has described him as her "big brother in the business [of politics]".[6]
