U.S. House of Representatives Dan Boren was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma on August 2, 1973. Boren is the son of David and Molly Boren, and the late Janna Robbins. He graduated from Texas Christian University with a B.S. in Economics, then went on to earn an M.B.A. in International Business at the University of Oklahoma. He also studied at Yale and Oxford universities. Elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives at age 29, Dan became one of the youngest state legislators to serve in 2002. Tapped for his leadership ability, Dan was selected by his Democratic colleagues to be Caucus Chairman - making him the first freshman state lawmaker to ever receive this honor. As a member of the Oklahoma House leadership team, Dan fought to bring jobs and economic opportunities to his district. Working hand in hand with Governor Brad Henry, he helped to protect economic assistance for Oklahoma's rural communities by saving the Rural Economic Action Plan from devastating budget cuts. He also fought to improve rural schools by co-authoring legislation that infused much needed dollars into Oklahoma's schools without raising taxes.
Dan and his wife Andrea reside in Muskogee, Oklahoma.
