Dashe for State Senate
Norfolk, Worcester, and Middlesex Districts
Bellingham, Dover, Franklin, Medfield, Millis, Milford, Needham, Norfolk, Plainville, Sherborn, Wrentham.
"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.
Press Release
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. Thank you to my campaign team, who orchestrated this tremendous effort. Thank you to my husband, Mike, my children and all of my family for their unfailing love and unending support. I could not have done this without you.

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.

๐ Happy Halloween from Dashe Videira! ๐
Halloween is such a fantastic time for community connection and fun! This year, let’s make it special for everyone by embracing the Teal Pumpkin Project. A teal pumpkin lets folks know you have non-food treats available, which is great for those with food allergies.
Let’s also be kind and mindful, especially toward kids with disabilities. Some children might need a little extra time to grab their candy or may be using communication devices. Remember, a little patience can make all the difference in ensuring that every child feels included and enjoys this holiday!
So whether you're trick-or-treating or sharing treats, let’s celebrate our diverse community together! Stay safe, have fun, and let your values shine bright this Halloween!

Last week, Needham Town Meeting passed a development plan to comply with the MBTA Communities Act, but it goes far beyond what’s required, allowing nearly 3,300 multifamily units—almost double the mandate.
The issue? Our infrastructure—sewage, water, electricity, roadways—isn’t built to handle this scale. Essential services like fire, police, and our already overcrowded schools would be stretched thin.
While I fully support affordable housing, development must be balanced to keep our community safe and sustainable.
If you’re a Needham resident and this concerns you, here’s what you can do right now. Join other residents in gathering signatures to bring this decision back to the people. We need 4,000 signatures by November 12 to secure a community vote in December. Let’s protect our voice and our future. Sign the petition, be heard, and let’s work toward balanced growth for Needham Go to: NRTZ.org

Our kids are facing a world that’s unlike anything we grew up in. They’re navigating pressures, exposure, and influences that impact their mental health every day. The mental health crisis among young people is real, and it’s hitting close to home.
We need stronger protections, real parental support, and leadership that prioritizes our children’s well-being and mental resilience. Today, more than ever, kids need a safe foundation—one that starts with the family and extends to the community.
I’m running for State Senate to protect and preserve what our kids need most: support, safety, and the freedom to grow up in a world that respects childhood.
Together, let’s make sure our children have the protections they need for a brighter tomorrow. Vote for Dashe for State Senate on or before November 5th.

I’m Dashe Videira, running for State Senate, and I want to share the story of the Franklin special election override from June. In just 4 to 5 weeks, our VoteNO Franklin committee mobilized to bring 45.5% of voters to the polls—an impressive turnout compared to the usual 20% for town elections.
As the chair of the VoteNO committee, I led the charge against an override initially set at $9 million, which we successfully reduced to $6.8 million. Although the override was presented as benefiting schools, there was no binding contract to ensure the funds would be allocated there.
We created a calculator to show how every household would be affected, emphasizing that taxes and fees were already increasing, override or not. This transparency helped residents make the best decision for their financial situation.
By holding town officials accountable, we empowered Franklin residents to make an informed choice, advocating for fiscal responsibility. I’m committed to continuing this work as your State Senator, promoting transparency, accountability, and the interests of our community.

In a contested race for state senate, Needham and 10 other communities will decide between a Democratic incumbent and her Republican challenger.
State Sen. and Needham resident Becca Rausch is seeking a fourth term in office, but in order to serve another two years, she’ll need to beat Franklin Republican Dashe Videira.

NATIONAL BULLYING AWARENESS MONTH
Bullying Prevention: A Commitment to Our Children
As your State Senator, I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for every child in Massachusetts. Bullying, including cyberbullying, must be addressed through strengthened legislation that reflects the realities of today’s digital age. I will advocate for comprehensive anti-bullying laws that protect all students and ensure schools promote a confidential and supportive environment for reporting incidents.
We need to create an atmosphere where students feel safe reporting incidents, fostering a culture of respect and inclusion by actively engaging parents, educators, and communities. By launching awareness campaigns and collecting data on bullying incidents, we can develop targeted interventions that truly make a difference. Massachusetts currently lacks a consistent, statewide bullying tracking system across all schools, and I would propose legislation to implement such a system.

We respect the diversity of perspectives in our community. For some, this day honors the cultural contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples, while others celebrate the legacy of exploration and discovery symbolized by Columbus Day.
Our shared history is complex, and today is an opportunity to reflect on how we can continue building a future rooted in unity, respect, and understanding.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
Many survivors face significant obstacles in securing legal protections due to the limitations of the current legal framework. Presently, laws often prioritize physical violence over emotional and psychological abuse, which can leave many survivors without necessary support. As a future Senator, Dashe Videira is committed to advocating for legal reforms that recognize the complexities of domestic violence. She will work towards a legislative approach that comprehensively addresses all forms of abuse, ensuring that survivors have equitable access to protections and resources.

Coming from a family of small business owners, I understand the challenges they face—from high taxes and regulations to worker shortages. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but since the pandemic, Massachusetts has seen a 50% increase in closures.
As your State Senator, I’ll fight for tax incentives, fewer regulations, and workforce programs to help small businesses thrive. I’m Dashe Videira, running for State Senate in Norfolk, Worcester, and Middlesex, and I’d be honored to earn your vote on November 5th.

Thank you to everyone who reached out regarding the incident on Tuesday evening. Your support means the world to me.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dashe Videira Condemns Acts of Harassment and Violence Before and After the 10th Norfolk District Debate, Calls for Unity and Accountability
[Franklin, MA] – October 9, 2024 – After a series of disturbing events surrounding the 10th Norfolk District debate, candidate Dashe Videira is calling for unity and a focus on respectful political discourse. An incident outside the debate venue at a Medway school, which had reached maximum capacity, left Dashe confronted by an aggressive individual who verbally attacked her, escalating to threats against her life and personal safety. These actions highlight the serious risks faced by women and diverse candidates and underscore the rising tension in today's political climate. “Such hostile acts threaten not only the safety of candidates but also the spirit of civic engagement. We must protect the right of every individual to run for office without fear of violence or harassment,” said Dashe.

I had the honor of spending a beautiful and meaningful evening with the Chabad House - Jewish Center in Milford for their October 7th Memorial: A Night of Healing. This gathering brought the community together for heartfelt songs and reflections, beautifully led by the talented @duvyburstonmusic. Through his inspiring music and familiar Israeli melodies, the room remembered the lives lost on October 7, while also celebrating the strength and resilience that keeps a community moving forward.
It was a night filled with hope, inspiration, and a reminder of the power we hold when we come together in prayer for unity, peace, and healing.
Grateful for this experience, and for the Chabad House - Jewish Center in Milford for hosting such a moving and uplifting event.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
I want to thank the individuals and families whom I have had the privilege of connecting with—breast cancer fighters, survivors, and the families of those affected by this disease.
In Massachusetts, despite having some of the best hospitals in the world, breast cancer remains a significant health concern. According to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, approximately 8,070 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. This highlights the urgent need for awareness, early detection, and robust support.
The financial burden of breast cancer is profound, impacting not only patients but also their families. Many face steep medical expenses, lost wages, and the emotional toll of treatment. This can lead to delayed interventions and hinder access to necessary care, further complicating their health journeys. I believe in empowering individuals to access a full spectrum of treatment options in their personal fight against breast cancer and other health challenges. By supporting policies that integrate traditional and holistic approaches in their cancer journey, we can provide patients with the resources they need to make informed choices about their health.
Additionally, I will advocate for reducing environmental triggers and promoting preventative measures and education aimed at lowering cancer risk in both men and women. Together, we can create a healthier future for all Massachusetts residents.

Today, we celebrate Constitution Day, a momentous occasion marking the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. This foundational document has stood the test of time, guiding our nation's principles of governance, protecting individual rights, and ensuring freedom for all Americans.

This oath is not merely ceremonial; it is a solemn pledge to uphold the values of democracy, transparency, and accountability in all that we do as legislators.
The Constitution guarantees the rights and freedoms that have made our nation strong. I am dedicated to safeguarding these rights for every citizen in our district and beyond.

FRANKLIN OBSERVER: Tuesday September 10, 24
Write-In Candidates Revive Competition for Voters in State Races
“Five lawmakers, including Franklin's State Senator Becca Rausch, might have spent months thinking they had a casual stroll to reelection this fall, but they will now face major-party opponents after a batch of candidates secured last-minute spots on the ballot.
Videira Makes Her Move
Republican candidate Dashe Videira of Franklin made the ballot to challenge Democrat Sen. Becca Rausch of Needham in a Senate district that cuts across parts of Norfolk, Worcester and Middlesex counties.
The area could be competitive. Two years ago, Rausch won reelection with about 55 percent of the vote against former Republican Rep. Shawn Dooley. Rausch herself took office by narrowly defeating GOP Sen. Richard Ross in 2018, before the district was redrawn in redistricting.
The current, economically diverse district, has the potential to offer surprises.”

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.
In Massachusetts, over 800 lives are lost to suicide each year, with a rate of 14.7 per 100,000 people. Alarmingly, suicide rates among minors are rising, reflecting a growing crisis in our youth. (Source: Massachusetts Department of Public Health, CDC)
As your State Senator, I am committed to:
โ
Expanding access to mental health services for all ages.
Addressing the needs of our most vulnerable, including youth.
โ
Reducing stigma and promoting awareness.
โ
Identifying and addressing underlying causes including the epidemic of loneliness, lack of social supports & residual effects of covid learning & social losses.
Together, we can build a stronger support system and save lives. Your voice and vote are crucial in making these changes.

Thank you @apricotlanefranklin in #Franklin for a wonderful experience. My daughter, Melayna and I had so much fun exploring your store and hanging out with you dog “bear” ๐
Looking forward to coming again and spreading the word on your new business.
After a fun and exciting experience with the campaign, it feels nice to treat myself to a beautiful view.

Thank you for your service. It’s an honor to celebrate #veteransday on November 11th.
The spiritual significance of 1111 is the highest manifestation of light. It is the circular movement and unity. This number means that each aspect of your life, be it spiritual, physical or mental is in full harmony.
Thank you for your service and may today be filled with miracles ๐๐ผโค๏ธ
At 12:10 pm today they called the race for Governor’s Council 2nd district with Jubinville winning.
Thank you so much to every physical person who came out to vote on #nov8. I am blown away by the support that came through with such limited notice. We pulled off nearly the impossible with a very optimistic sticker campaign for a position no one even knew existed! I’m still in shock that even worked and thrilled people are paying attention to this very important area of government.
We pulled off a phenomenal campaign in about 3 months. Less time than most candidates and came out strong with over 100k votes. I never even knew that many people prior to this race.
From the bottom of my heart, #thankyou. I can promise you one thing, I WILL BE BACK and I REFUSE to give up!
Thank you Thank you Thank you
It’s all part of #godsplan
