Dan Hunt has spent his career working on behalf of the people of Massachusetts, with a focus on the Dorchester neighborhood where he grew up and still lives today. An attorney experienced in public policy and the legislative process, Dan has been to every corner of the Commonwealth advocating for parks, implementing economic development initiatives, and strategizing with local groups and civic leaders to improve our quality of life.
Dan Hunt believes that a healthy community is a strong community. Our children can’t be expected to succeed in school if they aren’t physically healthy and we can’t expect all of our families to succeed without having resources available to our most vulnerable residents dealing with addiction and mental health. Dan will work to ensure that all of our families are healthy by:
- Fighting for quality, affordable health care options for all our residents and preserving current benefits for our seniors on fixed incomes.
- Working to ensure that Carney Hospital and our Community Health Centers continue to be anchors in our community.
- Ensuring that at-risk youth and families that are struggling with addiction or mental illness get the intervention they need through state and community based programs.
