Meet Dennis Hoban: A Leader Who Shows Up for Amherst
Dennis Hoban has spent his life right here in Amherst — building strong friendships, growing his career, and stepping up when the community needed him most. He’s not a career politician. He’s a neighbor, a local business leader, and someone who believes Amherst deserves leadership rooted in real action, not just promises.
Dennis knows firsthand that real leadership isn’t about talk — it’s about showing up, doing the work, and standing strong for the values that make our town special.
Leadership Built on Hard Work and Common Sense
Dennis built a successful career in business and project management, learning how to manage budgets, solve real-world problems, and bring people together to get things done.
His private-sector experience shaped his approach: when you say you’re going to do something, you do it — and you do it the right way.
When the Town Board passed an 11.4% property tax hike after the last election, Dennis didn’t sit back. He helped lead the “NO MORE 11.4” movement (https://nomore114.com/), rallying taxpayers, attending board meetings, and demanding accountability. He showed what happens when a citizen stands up for what's right.
