Reason for Seeking Public Office:
A Passionate Candidate
Dan's love of community and good government pushed him towards running for State Representative District 55. He has the passion, energy, the drive and the commitment to be your state representative. If elected, he is firm on his belief that we need term limits and we must hold politicians accountable for their actions.
A Champion of Good Government
One principle guided Dan to help him make a decision to run for public office. It is the principle of honesty, integrity and leadership. He has high regard for a past U.S.A. President with those quality characteristics.
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We can preserve for our children, this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we can sentence this generation of young people to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we are destined to fail, if this way of ours is to be lost, then at least, let our children and our children's children say of us that it didn't fail because we failed to try. Let them say that at least, we did all that could be done in the one moment allotted us here on earth." -- Ronald Reagan 1964
