Bring people together
Build relationships across cultures, neighbourhoods, and generations.
Thirty years in Surrey. A lifetime of service. A voice for every community.
Dan brings a service-first perspective shaped by faith, mentorship, and the everyday conversations that connect Surrey’s many communities.
The story behind the candidate
Dan B. Carlos is a Filipino-Canadian community leader who has proudly called Surrey home for 30 years. His work has kept him close to people from many cultural backgrounds and life experiences.
He has served as a licensed driving instructor for three decades, completed the Mental Health Course at Douglas College, and worked in outreach and support. He also continues to preach, mentor, and lead small groups in churches and community gatherings.
Dan is running for council to bring that practical experience into public service — listening carefully, building bridges, and reporting back clearly when residents ask what happens next.
What they bring to Surrey
Three priorities that connect Dan B. Carlos’s experience to the everyday work Surrey residents expect from public leadership.
Build relationships across cultures, neighbourhoods, and generations.
Make room for the experience behind the issue, not just the headline.
Make the path from resident question to public update easier to see.
One team. One standard.
Surrey residents deserve public representatives who are present before election day and accountable after it. The work is local, practical, and shared.
