-----------------
A Canadian sitcom set in the fictional Wessex, Ontario, ''DanForMayor'' follows slacker bartender Dan Phillips (Fred Ewanuick of ''Series/CornerGas'' 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 [[GrowingTheBeard 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 Creator/{{CTV}}. The series was officially cancelled in September 2011, along with sister series ''Hiccups'', and ''[[SoYouThinkYouCanDance So You Think You Can Dance Canada]]''.

!! This show provides examples of:

* BackupTwin: After [[spoiler:Bud is hit by a bus]], his previously unmentioned twin appears in the following episode.
* ButtMonkey: Dan provides entertainment for the entire town, (much like his character Hank in "Series/CornerGas")
* CluelessDeputy: The Deputy Mayor, Alan.
* DorkHorseCandidate: Entire premise is a variation of the idea.
* LookBothWays: In the pilot [[spoiler:the current Mayor Bud, Dan's opponent, is his by a bus.]]
** And again when Dan [[spoiler:lets a cat he borrowed jump out in front of a bus.]]
* RunawayFiance: [[spoiler: Claire in episode seven]]
* SleazyPolitician: "Ethical Dilemma" introduces Sam Jefferson, a [[{{Irony}} corrupt Ethics Commissioner]].
** In "Revenge is Swifty", we learn that the late Mayor Calgrove expensed the city for items such as a flat-screen TV and Alan never reported it.
