Dan Meuser

Dan Meuser served as the Secretary of Revenue in the cabinet of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett. He was previously President of the Pride Mobility Corporation, a manufacturer of motorized wheelchairs in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton metro area of Pennsylvania, and currently serves the company as a board member and consultant. Meuser has previously allocated money to both Democratic and Republican politicians, most notably President George W. Bush, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, and New York Senator Hillary Clinton. He has previously testified before Congress regarding the criticality for federal practices surrounding rights and caring for the disabled.

Candidate for Congress

Meuser was a candidate for the GOP nomination in Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district, having announced the implementation of his campaign in September 2007. He was defeated in the Republican primary by fellow businessman Chris Hackett, who went on to lose to Democratic incumbent Chris Carney in November 2008. Meuser heavily underscored his conservative values, even referencing Ronald Reagan and strongly emphasizing his work at Pride Mobility as part of a larger effort to embrace small-scale government and low taxes. The endorsements he received included a laundry list of well-known Pennsylvania conservatives including, most notably, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum and the famously anti-illegal immigrant, border security-championing Hazleton mayor Lou Barletta.
