Dan was elected to Oldsmar City Council Seat 2 in 2015 and has served seven for years. He was elected Mayor in March 2022, and works tirelessly in this role. If elected on March 11, 2025, this will be his final term, due to term limites. His next goal would be to possibly run for the House of Representatives.
His extensive community involvement and service in local, regional, and statewide legislature have prepared him to serve as Mayor. His many awards, achievements and accolades make clear his dedication and ability to serve. In January 2025, Dan became Chair of the Pinellas County Transit Authority (PSTA).
Dan’s priority is serving the citizens of Oldsmar. He wants to ensure smart growth, resiliency, and downtown development that honors our hometown feel. Dan cares about community theater, the arts, places for public gatherings, and continuous improvements for safe transportation options.
Dan Saracki and Paula, his wife of 34 years, have been Oldsmar, Florida residents since 1995 and local business owners of Impact Grafx, Inc. since 1999. Dan is now semi-retired, and has a background in computer programming, marketing, and sales, with an emphasis on commercial real estate. Dan’s community service in Oldsmar started in 2009 when he saw a need in his neighborhood to increase community involvement, maintain property values, and improve security. He was elected President of his Homeowners Association that year – a position he still holds today due to popular demand by his neighbors. His service, experience and knowledge continue to grow.
Dan’s hard work, dedication, continuing education and service on various boards have prepared him for his commitment to become Mayor of Oldsmar so he can serve the citizens. His efforts and involvement have reached beyond Oldsmar and raised awareness with state officials to benefit this great city. He is the first elected official from the City of Oldsmar to serve on the Florida League of Cities (FLC) Board of Directors and served as President of the Suncoast League in 2020. Dan was honored to receive the Home Rule Hero Award an unprecedented eight times in a row (2018 – 2024) from the FLC in recognition for his outreach efforts to members of the state legislature on the importance of protecting Home Rule.
