Meet Dori Dean
“I live here. I’ve lived here for forty years. My family is here. My neighbors are here.”
Roots and Background
My connection to this district is personal. The challenges Holyoke faces are not abstract policy debates to me, they are issues that affect the streets, schools, and families around me every day.
Career and Experience
I have spent my career in urban planning and local policy, learning exactly how funding moves through state government, why some communities get results, and why others are left waiting.
Why I'm Running
I believe Holyoke has been underserved, not because people do not care, but because our community has not had the representation needed to move resources where they are actually needed most.
This campaign is about changing the result. It is about making state government work for a district that has too often been told to wait. It is about bringing policy knowledge, local roots, and a practical sense of urgency to the job from day one.
