De la República Dominicana a la Alcaldía: Mayor Brian DePeña : The Dominican Mayor on Faith, Family & Building Community Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, he immigrated to the United States to pursue new opportunities. He first settled in New York, and later to Massachusetts, bringing a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to build a better future for his family. Soon after arriving, he founded the first Latino-owned hardware store in his neighborhood and alongside his father, he established a successful business that provided the community with essential tools and materials while offering a welcoming space where residents could interact in their native language. Through these interactions, he became increasingly aware of the challenges facing residents and small business owners, inspiring his advocacy for economic growth and social equity. His passion for community development led him to actively participate in some civic organizations dedicated to advancing opportunities for Latinos. He became engaged in local politics in the early 1990s, working on campaigns to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities. In 2015, driven by his unwavering commitment to public service, he launched his campaign for City Councilor At-Large. Elected for two terms, he earned widespread recognition and support, often referred to as “The Most Loved Councilor,” “The Most Voted-for Councilor,” and “The Councilor of the City, Mr. Brian DePeña.” During his tenure on the City Council, Mayor DePeña served on the Finance and Personnel Committees, gaining invaluable insight into municipal operations, fiscal management, and strategic governance. His experience on the Finance Committee gave him a comprehensive understanding of budgeting processes, allowing him to explore alternatives to tax increases while ensuring financial stability. As a member of the Personnel Committee, he emphasized teamwork and effective leadership to advance the city’s long-term vision. Mayor DePeña is dedicated to building a prosperous future for Lawrence. He is happily married and has seven children and five grandchildren. His dedication to his family mirrors his commitment to the residents of Lawrence as he continues working to create a city that all its residents deserve.
