Deep Voting Rights Roots

Dan Helm is a dedicated member of the Florida Bar Association with a deep commitment to ensuring fair and lawful elections.

Dan’s passion for the electoral process blossomed during his time at the University of Florida, where he actively participated in voter registration initiatives. After graduating from the University of Florida, Dan attended Emory Law School. There, he deepened his understanding of the critical role that voting plays in safeguarding all other rights.

In 2016, Dan served as the Deputy Regional Director for Voter Protection in Central Florida. He trained and coached hundreds of lawyers and volunteers in election law, ensuring that polling locations were properly managed and that voter rights were protected across 13 counties.

In 2018, Dan successfully sued against election law violations, which were disenfranchising voters, in Orange County.

In 2020, Dan took a stand against voter fraud by calling out illegal voting activities in Orange County by Derek Chauvin, the former police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd.

Dan’s personal life is deeply rooted in Florida. He and his wife, Rose, were married in Apopka and now reside in downtown Orlando with their son, Charles, and two rescue dogs. The Helms enjoy family walks to local parks and are expecting their second child this Fall. Dan’s commitment to protecting the electoral process is driven by his desire to secure a better future not just for his children, but for the entire country.

 I want to keep Orange County S.A.F.E.

In these uncertain times we are living, I’m stepping up to be a public servant. I’m a lawyer and I want to see four things happen for elections in Orange:

Secure

From threats

Accessible

Ballots

Fair

Systems

Elections

Every vote counts

Let’s Work Together.

“I am running for Supervisor of Elections to establish a better, more inclusive voting experience for our community, Orange County.” – Dan Helm
