Business leader. Air Force veteran. Community advocate. Dennis (DJ) Doran is an entrepreneur who has led multiple companies and organizations in a 35-year business career. He is currently the CEO of Aviator Development, a real estate development company, and a broker at Pearson Realty Group. DJ also served as executive director of the non-profit Chicago Deserves Better, which has worked to establish a commission to develop a city charter, a constitution to provide a pathway to better governance and to guide Chicago to a more prosperous future.

"For almost 15 years, my husband, Joe, and I -- and our dog, Oliver -- have called the 44th Ward our home," Doran says. “Our neighborhoods need and deserve a strong, responsive leader with a practical, results-oriented approach to local government. The residents of the 44th Ward deserve a real choice and an independent, effective voice when they cast their ballots for Alderman.”
