About Colman Ryan
I am a 4th generation resident of Dania Beach, President of the Dania Beach Improvement Committee, a small business owner, and a lifelong member of our community. As a young candidate, I bring a fresh perspective and a strong commitment to long-term sustainability. Over the past seven years running my own business, I’ve learned the significance of transparency, overcoming obstacles to get the job done, and ensuring that every dollar counts.
I'm running for City Commission to prioritize our residents' needs first, support local business, advocate for long-term infrastructure solutions, and preserve our city's historic and environmental character. Dania Beach is my home, and I’m dedicated to its future.
My Focus
Putting Our Residents First
As your candidate for City Commissioner, putting our residents at the center of every decision is a top priority that I take very seriously. I can confidently promise that I will always perform my due diligence before making decisions on the agenda. From thorough budget reviews to ensure your tax dollars are used effectively and responsibly, to prioritizing community engagement to address residents' concerns with urgency, I am dedicated to representing our community.
The Safety Of Dania Beach
I will work closely with our first responders to ensure the city provides the necessary support, enabling them to adapt and respond effectively to the evolving needs of our city. Maintaining our departments at and above industry standards in equipment, training, staffing, and programs is key to this. Additionally, I will support initiatives that promote community engagement in law enforcement to build trust and understanding between residents and the officers serving their community.
Sustainable Infrastructure
When our city invests millions of taxpayer dollars into infrastructure, it must be built to last. I will advocate for projects that are engineered to handle future growth and evolving environmental conditions, addressing not just our needs today, but also ensuring a sustainable future for Dania Beach. This kind of strategic long-term planning requires commitment and follow-through, but it will save our city from avoidable future expenses.
Protecting Our Unique Assets
We are one of the oldest and most interesting cities in South Florida. Our beach, waterways, natural environment, and historical significance are precious to Danians. By working with the Dania Beach Commission to preserve the surroundings that make our city so special, we ensure that future generations will enjoy the unique beauty and charm that we do today.
