About Dan June 6 2011
Dan and his wife Tara reside in Penticton, where they raise their three daughters.
Dan has served as campaign chair for the United Way of the South Okanagan-
Similkameen in 2006-7 and 2010-11, both times surpassing their fundraising
goals.
As a community leader, Dan was elected to Penticton City Council in the 2008
municipal elections, where as a first time candidate he won with 5656 votes,
topping the polls. Through his work as a city councillor, Dan has proven himself to
be a strong constituency worker delivering results and standing up for what he
believes in. Dan took a leading role on public safety by proposing aggressive
panhandling and dog control bylaws; he proposed a review that greatly helped his
community to balance the books and to focus on core services by eliminating
wasteful or unnecessary spending. His Penticton Politics website blog has offered
new ways for constituents to communicate on important issues.
