Daniel E. Innis (born April 7, 1963) is an American academic and politician. He currently serves as a Republican State Senator, representing District 7 in the New Hampshire Senate. He previously represented District 24 in the Senate from 2016 to 2018. He is also a professor of marketing and hospitality management[2] at the University of New Hampshire. He served as the Dean of the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire from 2007 to 2013, overseeing major developments at the school.[3]
Academic career
Prior to his tenure at the University of New Hampshire as a professor and dean, Innis served as the dean of the College of Business, Public Policy and Health at the University of Maine in Orono. He also served Ohio University as the Associate Dean of the College of Business, Chair of the Marketing Department, and was a professor in the Marketing Department.
In October 2015, Innis announced he would again run for Congress in New Hampshire's 1st district. Before suspending his campaign, he was slated to face incumbent Frank Guinta and Jamieson Gradert in the Republican primary on September 13, 2016. Guinta was thought to be vulnerable due to a campaign finance controversy in which he accepted a campaign donation from his parents far exceeding the contribution limit for individuals.[5]
In December 2015, Innis asked his supporters to make year-end contributions to a Manchester drug treatment center, Hope for New Hampshire, instead of to his campaign.[6]
Innis suspended his congressional campaign in March 2016, citing family priorities and business interests.[7]
Sherman challenged Innis again in a rematch for the seat in the general election on November 6. This time, Innis was defeated.[11]
2022
Innis relocated to New Hampshire’s 7th State Senate District prior to seeking re-election to the chamber in 2022. On November 8, Innis was elected, defeating Democratic nominee Richard Lobban.[12]
