Meet Dana

Dana Walsh is an independent businesswoman who wants to serve her country. She has no desire to become a career politician like her opponent. The entrenched political elite in Washington, seeking their own power, have grossly mismanaged the nation’s affairs, and will continue to do so without action by responsible citizens.

Dana Walsh is standing up to take action at this critical turning point in our nation’s political and economic history. Rarely in our history has the country needed the strong voices and courage of its citizens to retake the reigns from those who misuse power. Standing up now is more important than ever before.

Dana’s campaign began simply - when she recognized that the excessive tax burden, complicated government bureaucracy, and intrusive government regulation made it impossible citizens to keep up with what was occurring in their country. 

Dana decided that she would do something. She launched her campaign to help right the country’s policy culture away from its present collectivist course and back toward our Founder’s constitutional vision of truly limited government and considers the most important objective to be: stop Nancy and her liberal / socialist comrades from destroying the country’s prosperity.
In her 2008 campaign Dana set the tone and laid the ground work; in her 2010 campaign she intends to finish the job! Dana is uniquely qualified to serve as a “Citizen Statesman:”

A little background: Dana attended Santa Clara University for two years; then graduated from San Jose State University with a B.S. degree in Industrial Design.
She moved to SF in late 1978 and in 1980 bought the retail furnishings business she was managing, adding a design studio which was in operation until 1990.  She served as the president of the Greater Clement St. Merchants Association and held positions in other small business organizations during these years. 

She then established her design firm in the San Francisco Design Center, with both commercial and residential clients primarily in the SF Bay area but also with projects in Hawaii and Tokyo. She has served in multiple positions in design, business, civic and philanthropic organizations locally and has been Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for the San Francisco Juvenile Court and a tutor in the San Francisco Unified School System
