Daniel W. Whitaker

Daniel Whitaker is a Chesapeake council member whose current term runs through December 31, 2026. Elected in November 2022, he brings a skilled-trades and business background to the office. The city’s biography identifies him as the owner and president of D2W Electric and a master electrician in Virginia and North Carolina. His education includes Oscar Smith High School, the Chesapeake Career Center’s predecessor and Tidewater Community College.

Whitaker’s listed public assignments include the Chesapeake Land Bank Authority and council’s Audit Committee. For residents, those subjects connect the use of property with oversight of public resources. They offer useful starting points for questions about how a proposed policy will work in practice, rather than simply whether a project sounds attractive.

Council service is citywide. Contact information is available in his official directory entry, while council agendas provide the documents behind upcoming votes. A clear inquiry should identify the property, policy or spending item involved, include an agenda reference when available and state what information or action would help resolve the concern.
