Lynda Tocci

A principal at Dewey Square Group, Lynda Tocci has earned a reputation as a highly effective campaign organizer and manager with a winning record in the political, public and private sectors. With more than 25 years of experience in strategic planning and campaign management, she has developed and managed grassroots organizations for dozens of candidates and managed ballot initiatives in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Iowa, Oregon, and Florida.

Lynda's record includes winning ballot question campaigns in four recent statewide elections in Massachusetts. She managed the 2018 campaign to defeat a question that would have imposed nurse staffing ratios in hospitals, winning by a 70-30 percent margin, and the campaign to defeat a 2016 ballot question to expand charter schools, capturing 333 of 351 cities and towns by a 24-point margin despite being outspent by $10 million.

In 2012, Lynda served as a senior advisor for Senator Elizabeth Warren's grassroots organization, which achieved a record win at the party convention, shattered existing voter contact efforts and delivered an historic turnout operation setting the bar for the application of new Get Out the Vote (GOTV) technology. She served as a senior advisor to the Warren presidential campaign in 2020 and has also managed municipal campaigns in the cities of Quincy, Springfield, Revere, and Boston. Most recently, she was a senior advisor for Maura Healey's successful 2022 campaign for governor of Massachusetts.

In 2008, Lynda served as director of Hillary Clinton's GOTV effort in New Hampshire. She later returned to New Hampshire in the general election to direct the field organization effort for President Barack Obama and Senator Jeanne Shaheen, helping to secure solid victories for the Democratic ticket.

In 2004, Lynda managed the Massachusetts office for Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign and also directed Kerry's successful GOTV effort for New Hampshire. From 1998 to 2002, she served as Deputy Treasurer and Chief of Staff for the Massachusetts State Treasurer's office.

Lynda is a graduate of Wheaton College and received her MBA from Simmons College School of Management.
