City of Escalon City Council Councilmember Andrew Hagan

After being appointed to the Escalon City Council to fill a vacancy, Andrew Hagan successfully ran for election in 2022 when his first term ended. Hagan believes that the most pressing needs of the city are to secure “the revenue needed to address the areas of various concerns in public service positions, recreation, senior services, etc.” He also sees senior housing as a top priority.

Hagan is a local who graduated from Escalon High School before leaving town for college. After his schooling, he returned home to work as a veterinarian.

As a businessman, Hagan favors creating revenue “through developing our business tax base via positive new business development and making it easier for businesses to call Escalon home.”

Notable quote: “I love Escalon how it is and the people who live here. I worry our government in general has stopped respecting our God given rights as described by our forefathers in the constitution and want to help prevent the spread of this ideology to our town.” (Source: Escalon Times)
