Missouri House of Representatives
Dean has served as a Democratic member of the Missouri House of Representatives, where they have focused on issues including legislative procedure, constituent services, and party organizing. In 2025, Dean participated in a sit-in with other Democratic representatives during a special session to protest mid-decade redistricting that was done at the request of President Donald Trump in attempts to gain an additional Republican congressional seat in Missouri.[6] During the session, a private message sent by Dean to another representative was publicly circulated and drew criticism from Republican lawmakers. After the message was shared on social media, Dean reported receiving harassment and threats. Minority Leader Ashley Aune removed Dean from committee assignments, and a House ethics investigation was opened.[7]
