Sheridan Town Council candidate Daniel Bragg has begun his final push to garner support for the May primary election. Bragg ran for one of two of the Council’s At Large seats in 2018, ultimately losing by a mere 16 votes. It was Bragg’s first run for public office in his hometown, and the results left him feeling encouraged.

“I was pleasantly surprised,” said Bragg. “Obviously I wanted to win, but for a 28-year-old to be able to get that much support in my first attempt, I was ecstatic. At the end of the day, all of us that are on the ballot are there for one reason, because we want to see our community succeed.”
Daniel Bragg graduated from Sheridan High School in 2008 and lived in Sheridan until leaving for the United States Air Force in 2011.
“I’ve always been drawn to public service. I believe that I have a lot to offer to my community, and have been truly humbled by the support that I have received the past year,” said Bragg. “Sheridan has a lot of potential for success without compromising the small-town feel that many residents have grown to love.”
Bragg is running on a platform that emphasizes public safety and transparency.
“The opioid crisis has affected communities all across the country, and none no it better than Sheridan,” said Bragg. “I want to ensure that the Sheridan Police and Fire have absolutely everything they need to protect the citizens of Sheridan. Public safety must be a top priority for any community. Also important is the need for more transparency within the community. There needs to be a more concerted effort to inform the people of Sheridan of what the council is doing.”
Bragg says he believes in a truly representative government and that a personal agenda “should never come before the will of the people.”
Bragg has begun getting yard signs out to those who wish to show public support for his campaign. If you would like to contact Mr. Bragg about yard signs, or any questions that you might have, you are invited to send him a message on his campaign’s Facebook page, or at DanielBragg2019@gmail.com.
