Carroll and his wife Joy have lived in near Grinnell since their marriage in 1975. Danny was first elected to public office in 1984 as a member of the Poweshiek County Board of Supervisors. He served in that position for ten years and was then elected to the Iowa House of Representatives in 1994.

He held that office through 2006 when unfortunately he was defeated. Danny is running this year in the race for House District 75 in an attempt to reclaim the seat he lost in 2006.

Danny and Joy live near Grinnell where they own and operate Carroll’s Pumpkin Farm. Danny is the Director of Community Relations for Iowa Telecom with headquarters in Newton, Iowa.  The Carrolls have three grown children and two granddaughters. 2008 is a big year for the Carrolls with two daughters getting married this past spring.
 

In reflecting on his service in public office Danny credits his wife, parents and the pastor in his home church for expecting and encouraging him to work hard, practice discipline and show respect for others. “Any good or useful thing I have done has been as a result of the opportunity and support others have given me,” says Danny.
