Madeleine Dean is the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania's 4th congressional district. Dean grew up in Glenside and got her start arguing politics around the dinner table with her five brothers and older sister. After college, she went to law school and practiced law in Philadelphia. Eventually, she opened a small three-woman law practice. While she was raising her three kids, she switched careers and began teaching English at LaSalle University.
In 2012, Rep. Dean launched her career in public service and won a special election to the Pennsylvania State House. During her six years in Harrisburg, she fought for public education, healthcare, environmental protection, equal rights, criminal justice reform, and against the opioid crisis. After the Sandy Hook shooting, Dean founded and served as co-chair of the PA-SAFE caucus dedicated to ending gun violence. In 2018, she set her sights higher and ran for Congress in one of the most pivotal years in its history. During the pandemic, Madeleine Dean voted for the HEROES act, which provides full extended unemployment insurance, stimulus checks, support for health care systems, protective gear and testing for frontline workers, mail-in election funding, funding for state budget shortages to prevent layoffs, and new small business loans. Republicans almost unanimously voted against all of these measures.
Dean currently sits on the House Judiciary Committee, which oversaw the historic impeachment hearings for President Donald Trump. She also sits on the House Financial Services Committee, is the Vice Chair of the Bipartisan Women’s Caucus and a founding member of the Bipartisan PFAS Taskforce, focused on addressing drinking water contamination in our communities and across the country.
Dean currently faces off against a Republican Kathy Barnette and an Independent candidate Joe Tarshish, both political newcomers. Barnette has leaned into the combative "America First" Trumpism while Tarshish hopes to capitalize on voter antipathy toward both parties.
Madeleine Dean is the clear progressive choice in this race.Madeleine Dean
