Philip Travis

Philip Travis (born July 2, 1940 in Fall River, Massachusetts) is an American politician who represented the 4th Bristol District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1983–2007 and served as a member of the Board of Selectmen and School Committee in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. He also worked as a part-time professor at Massasoit Community College.

In 2004, Travis led the legislative effort to amend the state constitution to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The Massachusetts General Court deadlocked on the issue, which led to Goodridge v. Department of Public Health going into full effect.
