Dan Winslow Ingle (born May 27, 1952) is an American politician who served in the North Carolina House of Representatives from June 12, 2009 to January 1, 2013, representing North Carolina's 64th House district.

Early life

Dan Winslow Ingle was born on May 27, 1952 in Greensboro, North Carolina.[2] Ingle graduated from Gibsonville High School in 1970[2] before serving in the Burlington police department.[3] He served 17 years in the Elon Police Department, including as its chief, retiring in 2002[4] after a combined 40 years in law enforcement.[2]

In 1998, Ingle earned a Bachelor of Arts degree[2] in political science from Elon University as a non-traditional student.[3]

In 2004, Ingle was elected to the Alamance County Board of Commissioners,[5] eventually serving as its Vice Chair.[6]

North Carolina House of Representatives

In 2009, Ingle was appointed by the Alamance County Republican Party to the North Carolina House of Representatives, after his predecessor, Cary Allred, resigned due to a scandal.[6] He served one term, and did not run for reelection in 2012.[7]

While in office, Ingle opposed the controversial Racial Justice Act, symbolically throwing away a law book during debate on the bill.[8]

Later political career

After leaving the North Carolina House, Ingle returned to the Alamance County Board of Commissioners in 2014.[3] On April 1, 2016, he resigned from the Board of Commissioners, citing health reasons.[5]

In 2022, Ingle was elected[9] to the Alamance-Burlington School Board, campaigning on his experience in public service and a focus on depoliticizing the school system.[10]

Personal life

Ingle has twice been awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, North Carolina's highest civilian honor.[10]

Ingle is Baptist and attends church in Whitsett.[2] He and his wife, Debbie Ingle, have four daughters.[10]
