Mike Dooley

Born and raised in Norwood, Mike is a Democratic candidate for State Representative of the 12th Norfolk District which covers Norwood and precincts 1, 2, 6, and 7 of Walpole. Mike has served as an elected Representative Town Meeting member for District 7 in Norwood since 2018. He has been a member of the Norwood Democratic Town Committee for 5 years and has been active in politics since he was 10. In high school, Mike founded the Neponset Valley Young Democrats and helped elect Democrats all over Bristol and Norfolk County. Mike currently serves as the Membership and Outreach Director for the Young Democrats of Massachusetts. In this role, he oversees membership growth as well as the caucuses of the organization, such as the Black Caucus, Labor Caucus, LGBTQ+ caucus, and Veteran’s Caucus. Mike is a proud K-12 product of Norwood Public Schools and is working towards a B.A in Education Administration from the University of Massachusetts – Boston.

Mike believes the first job of a State Representative is to be active in the community they represent, and to see and hear what matters most to their constituents. The 12th Norfolk District deserves an enthusiastic Representative who is full of energy and eager to bring progressive ideas to the forefront. The Commonwealth must be leading the way on transparency, education, and the climate crisis, and Mike is uniquely positioned to fight for these causes.
