Summary of Candidate

Overall, Dan seems to be a well liked individual but when hard questions were asked and research was done to find out if Dan was a strong patriot who defends individual liberties, no evidence could be found. He appears to stay close to home and participate in local long standing non profits, not branching out to other needs that encompass political issues.
