Alex B. Morse is the 44th and current mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts. On November 8, 2011, he was elected the youngest mayor of Holyoke at age 22, defeating incumbent Mayor Elaine Pluta. He has since been re-elected three times, and is presently serving the first four-year term as mayor of the city.
Morse's election in 2011 at the age of 22 received national coverage, as he was youngest and first openly-gay mayor of the city and, at the time, among the youngest of any in the United States.
At a young age Morse took an interest in politics, joining the Holyoke Youth Commission in 2001 at the age of 12, a group which advises city leaders on issues affecting young people. A graduate of the Holyoke Public Schools, Morse served two terms as student representative for the Holyoke School Committee and three years on the Massachusetts Governor’s LGBT Commission. In 2016, Morse completed Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government program for Senior Executives in State and Local Government as a David Bohnett LGBTQ Victory Institute Leadership Fellow.
During his time at Holyoke High School, Morse formed a chapter of the Gay-Straight Alliance, and was the inaugural recipient of Boston's Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays Elsie Frank Award, a scholarship named in honor of the mother of Congressman Barney Frank. The following autumn Morse entered Brown University, working part-time as an assistant for Providence, Rhode Island Mayor and future Congressman David Cicilline. Morse graduated in the spring of 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies.
