My name is Dan and I work as a machine operator at Dometic, a marine manufacturer in Region 9. I'm the Recording Secretary of UAW Local 644, where I also serve as the Vice Chair of the Bargaining Committee (Dometic Unit), Education Chair, and Delegate to the 2022 Constitutional Convention. Last but not least, I'm a father of four, husband to my amazing wife Eman, and a Marine Corps Veteran (2008-2012).

I am running for UAW Region 9 Director because I believe we need to put power back into the hands of rank-and-file workers, whether we're in the Big Three, independent parts, gaming, or higher education. Your contribution to my campaign will help me get my message to workers all across Region 9, and pay for gas, printing leaflets, and sending mailers. Every little bit counts and is deeply appreciated. We can turn around the UAW together.

For too long, Region 9 leadership has taken a top-down mentality. If elected, I will open up lines of communication using 21st century tools, and begin an education campaign for our membership. I will prioritize fighting for higher wages and COLA reinstatement and increases. I'm proud of the contract I negotiated for Dometic, which includes NO TIERS and a 45-day progression for temps. As a delegate, I voted against IEB pay raises, and as Regional Director pledge to donate 34% of my wages back to the union. I will also support forensic audits of Region 9 and will work with the UAW Monitor to expose corruption.

I'm running with a team of amazing candidates, UAW Members United, which is endorsed by UAWD. You can learn more about them at uawmembers.org. Visit my page at uawmembers.org/dan.
