Term Expires: November 2027

Bridget Dean was elected to City Council for a four-year term in November 2019 and re-elected in November 2023. She and her husband Mike chose to live in Berkley because of the small-town charm of the city and the ability to walk to so many places. They have lived in Berkley since 2005 and have two grown children. Bridget opened her knit shop, "...have you any Wool?" in 2004 on Robina.  Being a Berkley resident and business owner gives her a unique perspective and compliments the skills already on City Council.

Bridget earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work, both from the University of Michigan.

Bridget has been active in the following organizations:

  • Board Member of the Berkley Downtown Development Authority
  • Vice-Chair of the Berkley Downtown Development Authority
  • Design Guidelines Committee of the Berkley Downtown Development Authority
  • Wayfinding Committee of the Berkley Downtown Development Authority
