Dan believes that a successful township government requires that leaders listen to all residents. The needs and desires of residents will inform the focus on areas such as sustainability, development, public safety, and education excellence. Decisions should be made transparently, based on the best interests of the township, and not outside corporate developers. Dan will leverage his fiscally sound decision-making mindset to ensure that representation is a key element in all government processes.
