Phil Danaher has followed the motto “People, Not Politics” during his years in public service.  Phil  served for many years as a member of the East Greenbush Town Board, and has provided guidance as legal counsel to many local county, town and village officials in Rensselaer County over the last two and a half decades.

Along with pursuing his career as an attorney and operating a busy private practice in Rensselaer County, Phil has earned a reputation for his attention to constituent concerns and for his work on behalf of the taxpayers.

A commitment to community and public service began early for Phil.  During his years as a student at Siena College and Albany Law School, Phil found time to serve as the youth basketball coordinator of   Holy Spirit School and Parish in East Greenbush, and also served as a member of the Parish Council and School Board.   

Phil and his wife, Laurie, are the proud parents of a son, Jared, and a daughter, Brynna.
