Dow Receives Over 75 Law Enforcement Endorsements for DA
“The Choice of Law Enforcement”
San Luis Obispo, CA – Over 75 law enforcement colleagues have endorsed Dan Dow for San Luis Obispo District Attorney. Dow is running to replace District Attorney Gerry Shea who will retire next year after more than 15 years in office. A veteran and deputy district attorney of eight years, Dow continues to build broad support from his colleagues throughout San Luis Obispo County.
“I am absolutely clear that Dan Dow is the best choice for District Attorney,” said Lee Cunningham, a 28-year Deputy District Attorney with San Luis Obispo County. “The number of law enforcement endorsements he has received show that Dan is the right choice to protect and lead our community.”
“The support I have received from my colleagues is overwhelming,” Dan Dow said. “Thank you to all who put their trust in me to lead and protect this community, and allowing me to further my commitment to the safety of our region.”
Dow has always demonstrated a desire to serve both his local community and his country. Still serving as an Army Major, Command Judge Advocate, Dan was deployed to Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn and to Kosovo under Operation Enduring Freedom. Dow broadened his experience as a prosecutor by prosecuting Courts-Martial while in Iraq. He brings his extensive experience to the courtrooms of San Luis Obispo County. Now as a Deputy District Attorney, Dow specializes in the prosecution of homicide, sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse crimes.
Dow’s commitment to serve goes further than just the courtroom, as a dedicated father, Dan knows how important it is to provide for his family and ensure their security. For that reason, Dow regularly speaks at women’s shelters and events, seeking to provide financial and emotional support to victims of the crimes he prosecutes. He believes the criminal justice system has a moral obligation to be a voice of strength for those without a voice.
Now, Dow is looking to continue providing a voice for our residents, families, and business owners as the next District Attorney for San Luis Obispo County. Dan and his wife Wendy have been married for 21 years. They have two children, Chloe, age 8 and Jedidiah, age 6.
