MY JOURNEY
Service and Commitment to Our Community
I’m Corey Bouchard. My life has been defined by service, long before I ever considered running for office. As a young man, I answered the call to serve our country in the U.S. Army. In that uniform, I learned about discipline, sacrifice, and the profound meaning of working alongside people from all backgrounds for a single, shared mission. That experience taught me that our greatest strength comes from our unity and our willingness to put country before self.
Later, as a television news reporter, I served my community in a different way—by telling stories. I saw firsthand the struggles of working families, the hopes of small business owners, and the dreams of our kids. My identity as a gay man has also shaped me, instilling in me a deep commitment to treating everyone with dignity and respect, and fighting for a community where every single person feels they belong.
