'''William D. Delahunt''' (born July 18, 1941 in Quincy, Massachusetts) has served as the [[Democrat]]ic U.S. Representative from the [[Massachusetts]] 10th congressional district since 1997.  
    
A graduate of Middlebury College and Boston College Law School, Delahunt practiced law and served on the Quincy Council. After serving one-term in the Massachusetts House of Representatives (1973–75), Governor [[Michael Dukakis]] appointed him district attorney of Norfolk County, a position he held for two decades. In 1996, Delahunt ran for the U.S. House. He faced a competitive Democratic primary, but won in the final recount by 108 votes. Although the 10th district voted for [[Ronald Reagan]] and [[George H.W. Bush]], the reaction there to the new [[Republican]] majority in [[Congress]] was hostile, and Delahunt won the general election 54%-42%.
