Meet Dan Grant

Growing up in Austin, Dan first served the people of TX-10 when he interned for late Congressman Jake Pickle while attending McCallum High School.

Currently Dan works with the U.S. State and Defense Departments, training American civilian and military personnel bound for Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2009, Dan was awarded a commendation from the State Department for his service during the Afghan Presidential election.

His work strengthening democratic institutions has taken him to places like Iraq where he worked with the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq to conduct the historic elections of 2005, and to Afghanistan where he helped coordinate the nation’s post-Taliban constitutional convention and re-establish Afghanistan’s Central Bank.

Dan serves on the board of the Saint Louise Home, a charity devoted to assisting homeless mothers with children. He lives in Austin with his wife Ami, son Jack, and they are expecting a daughter, Grace, in January.
