Public Service
Eight Years on the Keizer City Council
Dan has served on the Keizer City Council since 2018 and has participated in and chaired numerous committees and task forces.
I believe the council should make decisions, listen to residents, respect taxpayer dollars and focus on practical results.
Listen First. Work Together. Focus on Results.
Dan believes local government works best when councilors listen to different perspectives, work through disagreements, and focus on practical outcomes for Keizer.
