Governor Healey Elevates Angelo Gomez to Parole Board Chair
BOSTON – Today, Governor Maura Healey announced that she is designating Angelo Gomez to serve as the Chair of the Massachusetts Parole Board, elevating him from his current role as a Parole Board Member. Governor Healey appointed Mr. Gomez to the Board earlier this year, and he was confirmed by the Governor’s Council.
“I was proud to nominate Angelo Gomez to the board earlier this year because of his decades of experience, leadership and commitment to public safety as a former probation officer and a parole officer. He has continued to impress us as a member of the Board, and he is highly qualified to serve as Chair,” said Governor Maura Healey. “I am grateful that he has agreed to assume this important position and I look forward to continuing to work with him and the entire Parole Board to make Massachusetts safer and fairer for everyone.”
“I am thankful to Governor Healey for the opportunity to lead the Parole Board and to work with my fellow Board members to continue to promote public safety and fairness,” said Incoming Chair Angelo Gomez. “As a former parole officer and parole supervisor, I know how transformative the decisions of the Board can be, and I am committed to performing this work with balance, fairness and integrity as the guiding principles.”
The Massachusetts Parole Board’s mission is to promote public safety through supervised, conditional release of incarcerated people to the community and to provide the support needed for a successful transition back into the community. Parole Board members conduct hearings to determine when, and under what conditions, parole-eligible individuals should be released to the community and serve as the Advisory Board of Pardons to the Governor on clemency petitions.
Angelo Gomez Jr. is a seasoned criminal justice professional with over 30 years of experience and has served as a member of the Massachusetts Parole Board since July 1, 2025. Before joining the Parole Board, Mr. Gomez served as the Chief Parole Supervisor for Field Services at the Parole Board. He was responsible for overseeing statewide parole operations, policy implementation, staff development, and interagency partnerships to enhance public safety and support successful reintegration. His extensive career spans roles as Deputy Chief Parole Supervisor, Parole Supervisor, Field Parole Officer, Probation Officer, Correctional Officer, and Court Procedures Clerk. Mr. Gomez holds an Associate of Science in Criminal Justice from Bunker Hill Community College and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Massachusetts Boston. He has completed graduate coursework in criminal justice at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
