Fallon business owner and longtime community volunteer Daniel J. Doty is running for the Fallon City Council Ward 1 seat, focusing his campaign on small‑business support, public safety, infrastructure, and steady, manageable growth.
Doty, a Fallon native, operates businesses in both the city and county and says that experience has given him firsthand insight into the challenges facing local employers and working families. He said helping small businesses succeed is essential to strengthening Fallon’s tax base and improving overall quality of life.
“As a business owner in both the city and the county, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to start and sustain a business,” Doty said. “When our local businesses succeed, they create jobs, strengthen our tax base, and improve the quality of life for everyone.”
Doty has also been active in community service through youth sports, local events, and nonprofit work. He said preserving Fallon’s family‑oriented atmosphere while planning for long‑term stability is one of the reasons he entered the race.
“I believe the city should plan for growth at a moderate speed,” he said. “Growth is important for our economy and tax base, but it needs to happen at a pace that allows our infrastructure and services to keep up.”
His priorities include maintaining city infrastructure, supporting police and fire services, and ensuring future development matches Fallon’s ability to provide reliable utilities and services. Doty also emphasized transparent budgeting and accessible city leadership.
Doty is one of three candidates running for the Ward 1 seat, which is open due to term limits. The other candidates are Lori K. Norcutt and Ryan A. Swirczek.
He describes himself as a steady, community‑focused candidate committed to preserving Fallon’s small‑town character while preparing the city for future growth and economic stability.
