As a local, choosing Tandarra as the place to start his family and buy a property was an obvious choice for Dan Straub. He believes the rural lifestyle and farming culture is one of the great strengths of Loddon Shire and something that he is passionate about.
Cr Straub has worked within the agricultural and construction industries, and as a husband and father of two young girls, understands the pressures on young families and the importance of local services.
His passions include working and advocating with rural communities on future farming practices, land access issues, recreational use of public land, water and environmental issues and the traditional Australian way of life.
