Meredith Dolan

The great-granddaughter of Polish and Slovakian immigrants to Pittsburgh, Meredith Gourash Dolan inherited a work ethic that has defined her volunteer and professional career. Her early family life was deeply impacted by serious mental illnesses of loved ones—an experience that has given her sensitivities for families navigating the complex sometimes overwhelming world of treatment and recovery. As a wife and young mother, she overcame the valleys of mental health challenges stemming from postpartum anxiety.

She remains a committed advocate for families in need by volunteering with organizations like North Hills Community Outreach, Foster Love Project, and Second Harvest Thrift Store. She’s also been a volunteer and supporter of N Street Village—an organization providing housing for victims of abuse, addicts, and those experiencing homelessness.

A graduate of Ohio University, Meredith’s professional career spans from her first job as a 16-year-old lifeguard to becoming chief-of-staff to a member of Congress in Washington, DC. The experience allowed her to develop expertise on policies ranging from clean water and environmental issues to road, rail, and air transportation policy. Aware that no one achieves success alone, she has mentored countless young women and men throughout her career. In 2017, she and her husband Greg—a fellow Capitol Hill staffer—left DC and returned home to Allegheny County to raise their growing family.
 
Like hundreds of thousands of professional women, Meredith has confronted sexual harassment in the workplace and even scored a legal victory against an employer for pregnancy discrimination. She remains active with organizations like Women’s Choice Network, which provide critical support for pregnant moms and their partners. Meredith’s professional life currently includes operations work for a tech startup company.

Meredith is married to Greg Dolan, a high school history teacher at Aquinas Academy in Hampton Township. The Dolans are blessed with two young children and are expecting a third in August. The family lives in Fox Chapel and are active members of St. Joseph of O’Hara parish.

From The Chairman
Dear Friends,
 
Last week I introduced you to Eric Casteel who is running for Allegheny County Council in District 8. Today I am proud to introduce another outstanding candidate, Meredith Dolan. Meredith is running for County Council in District 3. She seeks to unseat one of the most liberal Socialist Democrats in Pennsylvania.

If you do nothing else today, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with Meredith and her campaign.

District 3 is made up of the following communities: Aspinwall, Etna, Fox Chapel, Hampton, Indiana, Milvale, O'Hara, Reserve, Shaler, Sharpsburg, West Deer

If you live in any of these communities and would like to get involved in making your community stronger, click below to learn more about Meredith's campaign.

There is a group of people in life who believe that if you look annoyed all the time that other people will think you are busy. That pretty much sums up the Progressive Democrats on Allegheny County Council. They run around complaining, looking like they are bothered and annoyed at everything, but in reality, they do precious little to address the actual problems facing our families and communities.

Meredith is one of the people who will actually get busy working for us, and won't just make it look like she is.

As always, thank you for everything you do on behalf of the Republican Party!

Sincerely,
