People, Not Politics.

About Dan

Dan Woog made his mark as a dedicated public servant during his tenure in the Colorado House of Representatives from 2020-2022 and as a two term Trustee for the Town of Erie from 2013-2020. As State Representative, Dan served on the Energy & Environment Committee and was the ranking member of the State, Civic, Military, & Veterans Affairs Committee. Prior to his tenure as a State Representative and Town Trustee, Dan served his community as a Planning & Zoning Commissioner and Economic Development Council Board Member. He currently serves as the President of the Aspen Ridge School Building Corporation.

From a very young age, Dan was inspired by his entrepreneur father. While he lost his father at a young age, he is constantly reminded of the inventive, caring, and hard working man he was. His father’s business focused on improving the health and lives of his customers and that care for others is something that still motivates Dan today.

As a father and small business owner, Dan has leveraged his experiences to better understand House District 19’s unique challenges and opportunities. Raising two young children has fueled his desire to make a difference for the next generation. During his tenure as a Colorado public servant, Dan crafted effective legislation that benefited schools and transportation. He consistently demonstrated a keen ability to work across party lines, especially when it came to lowering taxes, protecting Coloradans, and supporting law enforcement.

Beyond his legislative accomplishments, Dan’s integrity, empathy, and approachability have endeared him to his constituents and colleagues alike. He approaches every decision with careful consideration and a willingness to listen, ensuring that the voices of those he represented were not only heard but also reflected in the policies he has championed. Dan has a deep belief in the power of citizens who are committed to driving positive change through the democratic process in order to shape their collective future.

Why I Am Running

House District 19 deserves a state government that protects the rights and freedoms of its constituency. Over what feels like a few short years, we have seen drastic political changes in our district, state, and country. I fear that many have failed to recognize the increased government control that has tightened its grip around us.

For Our Freedoms

I am proud to come from a family who values service to our country. Both of my grandfathers served in World War II. One fought overseas, while the other helped engineer a structure for the atom bomb uranium containment. Both fought to protect our freedoms as Americans and were democrats. We need leaders in Colorado who put the freedoms of the people first and foremost.

For Our Children

I am a father of two amazing children, a 14 year old daughter and a 12 year old son. Our children deserve what my grandparents wanted for theirs, a district and state where all people and all political parties talk about and support their shared goals. A place to raise their families in whatever way they see fit, to have options and choices for their children in schools, to know that their children are growing up in a safe environment, to know that their children will have a fighting chance to succeed in purchasing a home and start a career and family. For too long in Colorado, we have seen one sided laws that do not help the ones that our elected officials claim to represent.
