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 Republican 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 HD 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.
- Keeping Colorado Affordable Addressing the cost of living starts by ensuring that supply can meet the growing demand, which requires removing burdensome regulations that hinder development, particularly affordable condominium construction. Colorado experienced a 76% decline in condominium construction between 2018 and 2022 compared to 2002 to 2008 (as reported by the Common Sense Institute). This drop, largely driven by construction liability litigation, is an issue that can and should be addressed by our state legislature. It's equally important not to overlook renters. During my time in the legislature, I championed HB22-1127, a bill allowing renters to deduct their rent payments from income taxes, providing relief to renters.
- Focus on strengthening current laws that allow criminals to go free and repeatedly commit more crimes. The punishment must fit the crime and currently, many punishments are nonexistent or very weak at best. Support law enforcement by listening to their needs and providing them with the sources and equipment they need to recruit the best qualified officers. Stop taxpayer subsidies for illegal immigrants’ legal defense. Support local law enforcement and work with ICE to remove illegal immigrants from our communities.
- Many politicians like to pretend that we can’t have both affordable and clean energy, but it’s simply not true. As your State Representative, I worked across the aisle to expand the usage of green hydrogen fuel (HB22-1140) and to allow Coloradans the right to use any energy source that worked best for them (HB22-1020). Heating our homes and protecting our environment are not mutually exclusive.
I am passionate about lowering the cost of living for Coloradans whether that means tax reductions or reducing fees. Coloradans are hurting across the state and focusing on legislation that reduces the cost of living is something I will focus on from day 1.
Good listener, pragmatic and empathetic.
Elected officials swear to uphold the US Constitution which means that before voting on any bill, they must ask themselves if it is Constitutional. They also must take into consideration various opinions from all of their constituents and citizens of Colorado before making decisions. Often times new legislation is good for one group of people but hurts another group so everyone must always be considered.
The Challenger space shuttle explosion. 7 years old.
Washing dishes at a local restaurant. 1 year.
An open door relationship in which any legislator can meet with the governor regarding state law.
As a former Town Trustee and State Legislator, I feel it was very beneficial for me to get experience at the local level before becoming a State Representative. I learned many things that gave me very valuable experiences so that I was better prepared to hit the ground running.
Yes, there are members of both elected parties that have common ground and I was proud to work across the aisle on good legislation that lowered costs for Coloradans and supported our law enforcement agencies.

- Working to lower taxes and fees to make Colorado more affordable for everybody.
- Support law enforcement officers/increase public safety.
- Support legislation that promotes school choice.
Working to lower taxes and fees by supporting legislation that decreases red tape for businesses and allows them to thrive which will ultimately decrease the cost of living for all Coloradans. A pro business environment is also a pro consumer and pro Coloradan environment and will allow more residents to thrive financially in this beautiful state.
Support our law enforcement officers with legislation that will strengthen our police departments by way of funding for necessary equipment and resources to hire and maintain/train officers.
Support legislation which allows and promotes parental choice when it comes to which school a parent wants their child to attend. We must give parents more options because only they know what is best for their children.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
