Other candidates include Rialto Councilman and educator Joe Baca Jr., Fontana Councilman and business owner Jesse Armendarez, and business owner Nadia Renner. Dan is pictured with wife Abby and their three children.
“I feel most myself when I get to listen (to the community), talk with them, and, driven by our values, make decisions on what we believe,” Dan shared. “I know the community, and I want to speak for them – the decisions are based solely on what’s best for the community. I’m not interested in anything other than that.”
