Dan Halloran

I don't recall seeing anything about this guy here yet, but 

Paganism is starting to gain acceptance in mainstream society.  As a measure of acceptance we are seeing milestones hit such as Patrick McCollum speaking at the World Forum of Spiritual Culture in Astana, Kazakhstan last week.  Another such milestone is the election of openly Pagan candidates to political office.   In the past few years the Pagan community has seen the election of two openly Pagan candidates.  One of them is Dan Halloran.

My favorite part is this.

Why do you think that Pagans in reconstructionist religions have been more successful in breaking into politics and seen a serious candidates than Wiccans and other Contemporary Pagans?

Because the intellectual rigors of reconstruction faiths provide the discipline and education needed to be taken seriously in academic circles... which usually means mainstream higher education, in turn upper income, and more mainstream appearances and social involvement.
