Dean Tran was born in Saigon, Vietnam, and emigrated with his family to the United States at the age of 4. The son of a military officer who fought with the US Forces, and a successful business family in Vietnam, he knows what it means to leave everything behind and start again. His family sacrificed every possession they had to flee from the communist-controlled country of Vietnam after the war ended to achieve freedom. After fleeing Vietnam and surviving the ocean while others perished, the family spent 2 years in refugee camps while waiting for their green cards to come to the United States. In 1980, he and his family were sponsored by a Catholic priest in Clinton, a town that he calls his first real home.
Dean Tran believes nothing is more important than safe communities for our families. In our unusual times, law enforcement has come under attack, with voices on the left calling to defund our police. At the same time, the burden of the Covid-19 pandemic falls especially hard on our first responders. Dean Tran supports our men and women in uniform and affirms their right to make their own healthcare choices.
Support fully law enforcement agencies.
Deny federal funds to communities that vote to defund police services.
Fight against vaccine mandates that unfairly target front-line workers.
