Canon For Indiana

Dan Canon grew up in Clark and Floyd Counties, the son of a working-class single mother, and has lived in Indiana's 9th District almost all of his life. At age 17, he dropped out of high school. He got his GED and worked as a music teacher for about a decade while putting himself through college. He was the first in his family to graduate from a university. He'd never even met a lawyer before starting law school, but finally beat the odds and graduated with honors in 2007. He has maintained a civil rights practice with a small firm since then.

In Dan's own words:

"As a civil rights lawyer, I have been fortunate enough to represent people from all walks of life. I have gotten to hear a lot of stories. And I’ve seen ordinary, hardworking people get taken advantage of over and over again by the wealthy and the powerful. In Indiana and Kentucky, I’ve represented teachers against school systems, union laborers against big corporate employers, veterans against the federal government, police officers against corrupt departments, and inmates against unimaginably violent prison systems. I’ve taken on several governors, and I’ve taken on the President. I was honored to help committed couples achieve the equal dignity of marriage before the United States Supreme Court in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. And I am proud to represent immigrants and refugees seeking a better life through America’s promise of liberty and justice for all."

Indiana’s 9th District needs someone who isn’t afraid to speak out against Washington and big business. And Indiana needs someone who will be a voice in Congress for everyone - not just a select few. Dan has spent his life providing a voice to the voiceless. Now he's running for Congress to represent Indiana's 9th District. He's the right person, and hopes to earn your support.
