Proudly raised by Boston.

My name is Enrique Pepén. I was born and raised in Boston by Dominican immigrant parents who arrived here with nothing but hopes and dreams for our family. Growing up in a Boston Housing Authority development, I remember just how much community support we got from the neighbors who lived in our apartment building.

I’m running to represent District 5 on the Boston City Council because I believe that with honest and intentional leadership, we can build a stronger community that serves everyone.

In the news.

Boston City Councilor Ricardo Arroyo is drawing another challenger. Enrique Pepen, executive director of the Boston Office of Neighborhood Services under Mayor Michelle Wu, is entering the District 5 race today with a pledge to “be a voice for transparency, integrity, and accountability” on a legislative body whose current iteration is mired by infighting. Pepen previously worked for former City Councilor Tito Jackson, former Rep. Joe Kennedy III and former Mayor Marty Walsh. The son of Dominican immigrants, he lives in Roslindale with his wife and two young children, his campaign said in a statement.
