-----------------
A Canadian sitcom set in the fictional Wessex, Ontario, ''[[Dan for Mayor]]'' follows slacker bartender Dan Phillips (Fred Ewanuick of ''[[Corner Gas (TV)|Corner Gas]]'' fame) who, on a whim, announces his intention to run for mayor when his ex-girlfriend announces her engagement. Aided by his best buddy turned campaign manager Jeff, the first season shows Dan on the campaign trail, and the second season [[Growing the Beard|shows him finding his footing at Wessex Town Hall.]] The show was created by Paul Mather, Kevin White, and Mark Farrell, who also wrote for Corner Gas.
 
The series lasted from March, 2010 to August, 2011, and aired a total of 26 episodes in two seasons on [[CTV]]. The series was officially cancelled in September 2011, along with sister series ''Hiccups'', and ''[[So You Think You Can Dance|So You Think You Can Dance Canada]]''.
Line 8:
 
* [[Backup Twin]]: After {{spoiler|Bud is hit by a bus}}, his previously unmentioned twin appears in the following episode.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Dan provides entertainment for the entire town, (much like his character Hank in "[[Corner Gas (TV)|Corner Gas]]")
* [[Clueless Deputy]]: The Deputy Mayor, Alan.
* [[Dork Horse Candidate]]: Entire premise is a variation of the idea.
