Rooted in the Community. Ready to Serve.
Dan Pelchat
Candidate for Michigan House District 49
Serving Brighton, Brighton Township, Green Oak Township, Wixom, Walled Lake, Novi, and Commerce Township
Welcome, and thank you for visiting.
My name is Dan Pelchat, and I’m running to represent our community in the Michigan House of Representatives District 49.
I’ve spent my entire life in this district, raising my family here and serving our community in many ways—from working in our local schools to serving as Mayor of South Lyon. I believe our district deserves leadership that understands the people who live here, the challenges we face, and the opportunities we share.
This campaign is about:
- Protecting our democratic values
- Supporting strong public schools
- Investing in infrastructure and local communities
- Ensuring opportunity for working families
Our district is changing, growing, and becoming more diverse in its ideas and priorities. I’m running to make sure our representation reflects that future.
Together, we can build a Michigan where families can thrive, communities stay strong, and a government that works for the people.
Thank you for being here.
— Dan Pelchat

What people have to say about Dan
Having worked with Dan Pelchat in his first term as Mayor while I was the DDA and Economic Development Director for the City of South Lyon, I was very impressed with his passion and enthusiasm for the job and his comprehensive preparation for each City Council Meeting as well as the very professional and productive manner in which he ran City Council Meetings. I believe he will do an outstanding job. We need more people in government like Dan Pelchat! Also, I am a Commerce Township resident, and he absolutely has my endorsement and vote.

As the fire Chief for South Lyon under Mayor Dan Pelchat, I can say he has my endorsement and vote!
