Dan Patrick

Dan Patrick moved to Texas in 1979 after joining Houston's CBS affiliate KHOU TV. In 1988, Dan began his long career in talk radio by launching KSEV and helped a little known host, Rush Limbaugh expand his audience into Houston.  

As a popular talk-radio host, Dan has used the airwaves to advance his Christian values while advocating for a more principled government, lower property taxes, and improved border security.  Dan has made many appearances as a conservative commentator on MSNBC, The O’Reilly Factor and Hannity and Colmes as well as serving as guest host for the Laura Ingraham and Michael Reagan nationally syndicated radio shows.  In 2002 Dan wrote a Christian bestseller, The Second Most Important Book You Will Ever Read. 

In 2003, Dan formed the organization CLOUT, (Citizen's Lowering Our Unfair Taxes) and mobilized a 20,000-member group to lower property taxes. His radio stations have been community-focused, raising over $3 million for multiply impaired and profoundly deaf children through the Be An Angel charity. 

In 2006, Dan was elected to the Texas State Senate with an overwhelming 69 percent majority where he has continued his fight for these issues.  During the 80th Legislative Session, Senator Patrick succeeded in permanently placing the creed, "In God We Trust" over the Senate chamber, pushing open government legislation, forcing votes on lowered appraisal caps and pushing bills that empower local law enforcement to stem the tide of illegal immigration. As a result Dan received Texas District and County Attorneys Association’s Freshman of the Year Award and was recognized by Texas Eagle Forum for his conservative philosophy.

Dan is married to former elementary schoolteacher, Janetlea, and they are extremely proud of their son, Ryan, a Harris County prosecutor, and their daughter, Shane, who graduated summa cum laude from Baylor in 2006 and is pursuing a career in nursing.
