Strong communities are built on trust, transparency, and showing up. As First Selectman, Dan Carter has made community engagement a top priority — attending local events, supporting town programs, and keeping an open door to residents.
Whether it's listening to concerns in the grocery store aisle, meeting with civic groups, or advocating for community needs at the regional level, Dan believes local government should be rooted in real connection.
Dan believes strong leadership starts with listening. He regularly attends board and commission meetings, visits neighborhood associations, and sits down with local leaders to ensure every voice is heard. Whether it’s an early morning conversation at a local coffee shop or an evening town hall, Dan stays connected to the people he serves and remains deeply involved in the day-to-day fabric of Bethel.
Dan is a consistent partner to Bethel's schools, educators, and youth programs. He works closely with school administrators to understand their needs and advocate for safe, effective learning environments. From supporting youth sports and extracurriculars to encouraging civic education and student involvement in town government, Dan is committed to helping the next generation thrive.
You’ll find Dan not just in Town Hall, but out in the community — from the Memorial Day Parade, to ribbon cuttings, library events, and food drives. His visible and approachable leadership style reflects his commitment to being present and engaged. Dan doesn’t just talk about community — he shows up for it.
