Dan For Ranson City Council Ranson is growing — and she requires experienced leaders.

I'm Dan Strickland, and I was elected to deliver responsive services, clear priorities, and the kind of steady, accountable leadership our city deserves!

🚨PROGRESS UPDATE🚨

It was Pouring down on S. Marshal Street 🤣 🚧

I got a text from a supporter about their new walk way!!

Inside of 60 days this sink hole was reported, assessed, triaged and repaired. 60 days. It’s a New Day in Ranson 😎

Thankyou to Ranson DPW and the Owners for keeping everyone updated and informed throughout the process! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

It’s so frustrating to share the same voices from voters regarding their utilities. It seems no matter who’s responsible for the issue, the same issues keep happening with less and less accountability. Sad. But it’s why I ran and why I do this: for a better Ranson.

After a night ride with the kiddos, I rode a few blocks to log the outted lights and to experience what some of our neighbors do. Residents should be free to walk and ride the City pavement without fear of undue risks or harm. Let’s start there. With the limited sidewalk connectivity and dim-lit road conditions, let’s just say we’ve got some work to do!!

Let’s get to work!!

Awesome first meeting for the City!!

Let’s keep showing up in numbers and speaking our Truth. All Councilors were present and the Mayor was ready with the gavel. The meeting carried on till mid to 10, which was sooner than I’d anticipated ( or wanted lol) 😆 We cleaned up a few ‘administrative’ items and solidified plans to move forward.

Thank you to the folks who took time to address your private matters in the public space. There seems to be quite the gap in communication, and now we know about it, so thankyou. My hope is that each person will return to hear CiCo’s feedback, two Tuesdays from now.

To the folks who applied to the Boards/Commissions; Thank You! Your willingness to serve is appreciated and respected. Thankyou for answering our questions and sharing your story. This is a city-wide effort! Nice!!

To the family that showed up about the Park: thank you for taking the time to share your story and its purpose. I celebrate with your family today 🫂

Alright, let’s go map these sidewalks 😎 🚲

Happy Independence Day!! For 36 years, today remains my favorite Day. As a kid, I’d sit beneath Washington’s monument and watch the DC Skyline turn Red, White and Blue. Cannons would fire from Capitol Hill with a chorus singing through speakers lining the National Mall as hundreds of thousands joined together to celebrate our Freedoms. 🎇

As a soldier overseas, it was a privilege to serve Our Flag as we defended the protections and liberties of freedom and independence for others and ourselves. 🪖

Today, this Independence Day, I have the distinguished privilege and honor of serving a new flag, a new banner and an improved mission: Ranson Forward. 🫡

Ranson, I’ve served my Nation and my Tribe with reverence and love. It is pure privilege and welcomed duty to serve you. Thank you for that opportunity and this chapter in my life! 🇺🇸

First, i’d like to say thankyou to Shepherd Unversity and ValleyLink for the collab. It had handicap accessibility, combined with more than enough space to roam and plenty of air conditioning. Thankyou to the County Comms that showed up and asked questions. That was really nice to see!

On balance, we shouldn’t demonize folk who’re earning a dollar in a professional manner. In my opinion, the folks last night aren’t the enemy. They aren’t the ‘bad guy’. In my opinion, 10% were actual salaried staffers, the others are temps with a sales sheet and a script, similar to those you see at booths at fairs.

The ‘green’ staff were very helpful but largely hesitant on meaningful or substantive questioning and answers. Although I was not expecting such an informal gathering, I did ask the following questions to a number of ‘green’ shirts:

How long have you worked here for and how do you like working here? (shrug)

Will the supply chain and labor force be sourced from local organizations or will you bring your own?

Is the material sourced for these projects germane to the region or are they imported from other areas?

Are the assessments conducted in connection with the planning phase awarded to local 501s that’re knowledgeable of the area or is that also internal?

“I’m not exactly sure about that but if you fill out the comment form….” is the answer I got to most.

Here’s what was most painful: Generations of farmers stood in line as they fervently, yet patiently waited to find their farm on the map. My heart hurt for them last night.

Ranson!! Let's Go!!

I was at a soccer match the other day. Two awesome teams, two different styles of skill and thousands of supporters on either side. Although each team had their players, their colors and the sauce; it didn’t stop the stadium from loving the game and celebrating it together. 🥅

Regardless of what side of any issue we land on, i hope we can still stand and do the wave together! 🙌🏽

That’s my hope for Ranson. That’s my vision of Community. Thats an incredible way life! 😃

Join me today and everyday for a better Ranson! 🇺🇸

A voter sent this to me earlier this week. I am grateful for my tribe of supporters and their willingness to share concerns. Since my campaign, I’ve warned against the dangers of West Virginia’s HB2014. TRANSMISSION LINES are part and parcel to that Pillar. Inextricable. Jefferson County is in the crosshairs. In my opinion and in my experience, they’ve droned the valley, mapped the property lines and have met with those in power to promote their interest(s). This is not Life, Liberty nor the Pursuit of Happiness. This is greed. And it’ll take all of us to STOP IT!!

As a PERSON, i’ll be educating folks about what a bought-and-paid for candidate will do versus our home grown heros.

Join me in voting for common sense leadership in Charleston. True-neighbors who commit to amending and restoring . West Virginia was born in the FREEDOM of choice. She stood tall as other wained in capitulation. In America’s 250, Independence is on the ballot.
