"I believe that good governance starts with clear communication and true accountability to the people it serves."
Christopher Danson has been a proud resident of Clinton for 11 years, raising his family here and experiencing firsthand the growth and challenges facing our city. His campaign for City Council is driven by a desire to bring a professional, data-driven, and highly communicative approach to local government.
With over 10 years of experience in the finance industry and his current role of 7 years as a Communication Manager, Christopher specializes in managing complex data integrations and ensuring effective, streamlined communication across large organizations.
This background gives him a unique ability to approach city issues—from budget discrepancies to communication planning—with a focus on efficiency, transparency, and long-term sustainability.
Christopher holds a Master of Arts in Professional Communication. His advanced education centered on strategic messaging, research methods, and amplifying diverse voices—skills he believes are needed on the City Council.
He is committed to using this expertise to open new communication channels between the city and its residents, ensuring council decisions are explained in layman's terms and that citizens are involved before decisions are final.
Christopher and his family are deeply invested in the local community. His commitment to public safety is personal, coming from a family of law enforcement officers.
His core values—Family, Honesty, Leadership, and Fairness—guide his life and his campaign. He is running to ensure that as Clinton grows, it remains a safe, affordable, and engaging place to raise a family, with more opportunities for local parks (especially on the West side) and thriving local businesses.
