Mayor Pro Tem | District 2
Contact - mpagano@danapoint.org

Born and raised in Dana Point, I grew up enjoying the amazing amenities of our dynamic community. I attended R.H. Dana, Marco Forester, and Dana Hills along with my wife.  We have 4 children who attend St. Edwards Parish School. My local perspective and long-term interest in the future of our City will yield a balanced approach to the issues we all care about including a) maintaining our wonderful quality of life, b) being fiscally responsible with the City’s (taxpayer’s) budget and c) ensuring support for local law enforcement.  

Professionally, I am the CFO of one of the largest mechanical contractors in the state. I have advanced degrees in finance and leadership and have consulted numerous sophisticated businesses, schools, universities, and non-profit organizations. 

I commit to rational and pragmatic problem-solving for the residents of District 2. I commit to listening to you with an open mind. I commit to leading District 2 with integrity and for the benefit of all our citizens. 

I appreciate this opportunity and I am honored to represent the people of District 2 in the great City of Dana Point.
