"We do not have government by the majority, we have government by the majority who participate." This is a powerful call to action for Massachusetts residents who want to see more balanced representation in their government”. Thomas Jefferson
Too often, our legislative branch is dominated by a one-party majority, leaving many voices unheard. Dashe is committed to changing that dynamic by representing the everyday citizens who feel left out of the decision-making process. Her goal is to foster a fair, just, and accessible government to all.

Thank you to all those whovolunteered their time to make phone calls, hold signs, knock on doors and who went out on a limb to talk with friends, neighbors and acquaintances about my campaign.

Who is Dashe?
Passionately Protecting the Citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Dashe Videira is a passionate candidate for State Senate in the Norfolk, Worcester, and Middlesex District. Her candidacy is shaped by values of unity, opportunity, and accountability. Dashe’s family background reflects her diverse heritage: her father is a first-generation American of Puerto Rican and Costa Rican descent, while her mother comes from Portuguese settlers in Provincetown, MA.
Overcoming significant challenges, her family established a successful life in Foxboro, which deeply inspired Dashe’s pursuit of the American Dream. Being the first in her family to attend college, Dashe continues to honor her family’s legacy through her roles as a wife, mother of four, and community leader.
Since 2010, Franklin has been her home, where she has chaired the Republican Town Committee. She led the successful VoteNO Override campaign, which saw an unprecedented 45.5% voter turnout in a special election and saved Franklin constituents $7 million. The campaign equipped voters with tools to understand the personal impact of the proposed tax override, demonstrating Dashe’s skill in mobilizing community support and driving meaningful change.
Her decision to run for State Senate was sparked by calls from her constituents, highlighting their trust in her leadership.
To Represent the Voices of ALL Citizens in the Norfolk, Worcester, and Middlesex District.
Dashe is running for State Senate because constituents have called on her to step up and represent their needs. Her influence extends beyond Franklin, with neighboring towns seeking her expertise to tackle similar challenges. This demonstrates her commitment to serving as a regional leader who advocates for the community and addresses complex issues. With a proactive and dedicated approach, she aims to rise to the occasion and be the voice of the people, showcasing the trust they place in her leadership.
Outside of local politics, I’m actively involved in nonprofits, such as Communities Matters and the Maximum Impact Foundation, both aimed at fostering community engagement and supporting local trades and businesses. I also serve the Archdiocese of Boston in the Secretariat for Evangelization and Discipleship, specifically working in the Multicultural Ministry. In this role, I foster intercultural dialogue, promoting unity, love, and solidarity in alignment with Gospel values.
My write-in campaign for State Senate against Senator Becca Rausch, launched with less than two weeks before the primaries, gathered nearly 1,100 votes. This grassroots effort secured me a spot on the ballot solely through word of mouth, proving my ability to connect with voters and my dedication to representing their needs.
My campaign is built on three pillars:
- Unity: Bringing people from diverse backgrounds together to address the critical issues affecting our community.
- Accountability: Promoting transparency in government, ensuring decisions reflect the best interests of the people.
- Opportunity: Creating pathways for success by supporting local businesses, enhancing educational opportunities, and fostering overall community growth.
I’ve had personal conversations with thousands of constituents across the district, deeply engaging with the issues that matter most to them—rising costs, challenges in education, mental health, and the need for more transparency and accountability in government. I’m committed to representing the people’s voice and values as their State Senator.
My campaign slogan,
#BETHECHANGE, reflects my belief in empowering individuals to shape the future of their communities, ensuring that their voices are truly heard and represented.
