Meet State Representative Dan Sena

Dan, a former Dreamer from Brazil, has lived the American Dream, against great odds and difficult struggles. He was the first Brazilian immigrant elected to a state legislature in America and one of the first former Dreamers elected in the country.

Dan’s victories in the general elections of 2022 and 2020 and in the special election of June 2, 2020 sent a strong signal that the democratic values about opportunity, hard work, and inclusiveness are alive and well in Massachusetts, at a very difficult time in our country’s history.

With Dan’s 2024 victory, he looks forward to continuing the fight for positive change in Massachusetts. Your help, support and advice are very much appreciated. Please click on the "Contact” tab for ways to get involved.
