 "markdown": "# Dan Daley\n\nDan Daley is an American politician, a Democratic member of the [Florida House of Representatives](https://www.edgepedia.org/florida-house-of-representatives) from the 96th district.<sup>[1](https://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/details.aspx?MemberId=4757&LegislativeTermId=90)</sup> He is a graduate of [Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School](https://www.edgepedia.org/marjory-stoneman-douglas-high-school) in Coral Springs and a prosecutor, and gun safety is a central aspect of his legislative agenda.<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup>\n\n| Fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Party | Democratic<sup>[1](https://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/details.aspx?MemberId=4757&LegislativeTermId=90)</sup> |\n| Current office | Member, Florida House of Representatives, District 96<sup>[1](https://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/details.aspx?MemberId=4757&LegislativeTermId=90)</sup> |\n\n## Party affiliation\n\nDaley is a Democrat.<sup>[1](https://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/details.aspx?MemberId=4757&LegislativeTermId=90)</sup> Florida Politics has described him as a Coral Springs Democrat.<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup>\n\n## Early life and education\n\nDaley is a graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of the deadliest school shooting in Florida history and the deadliest high-school shooting in U.S. history.<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup> He has worked as a prosecutor.<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup>\n\n## Career\n\nDaley serves as a member of the Florida House of Representatives from District 96.<sup>[1](https://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/details.aspx?MemberId=4757&LegislativeTermId=90)</sup> In the House, he has made gun safety a central aspect of his legislative agenda.<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup>\n\n## Issues specific to Daley\n\nIn 2025, Daley was among several Broward County Democrats who spoke out against Attorney General James Uthmeier's announcement that his office would not enforce Florida's ban on the open carry of firearms following an appellate court's ruling. Daley called the decision \"reckless politics that make our communities less safe.\"<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup>\n\nDaley has described himself as a \"responsible gun owner.\"<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup>\n\n## Positions and legislative record\n\n### Gun safety and school safety\n\nDaley has made gun safety a central aspect of his legislative agenda. In 2025, he refiled legislation, HB 23, to require all future teachers in Florida to get special training on how to handle mass casualty events, such as school shootings and other emergencies where many people can be hurt at once. The idea is to ensure educators know the warning signs of crises, how to prepare, and what steps to take in the moment to safeguard students and staff. The bill would also apply the requirement to adjunct teaching certificates, ensuring that even part-time instructors are trained.<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup>\n\nIt was the third consecutive year Daley had sponsored the bill, and the second straight year it was his first proposal filed. When filing the previous year's version of the bill, HB 37, he said, \"It's clear that we must do more to equip educators with the knowledge and skills to foster safe learning environments.\"<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup>\n\nThe current HB 23, filed September 16, 2025 for the 2026 session, died in committee in the Education Administration Subcommittee on March 13, 2026, without clearing any committee stop. Its Senate companion, SB 204, by Miami Gardens Democratic Sen. Shevrin Jones, died without a hearing. Jones told Florida Politics he planned to again carry the bill in 2026.<sup>[2](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/756626-dan-daley-refiles-bill-to-require-anti-mass-shooter-training-for-teachers/)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
