Daniel E. Innis is an American academic and businessman. He is a professor of marketing and hospitality management at the University of New Hampshire. He served as the Dean of the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire from 2007 to 2013, overseeing major developments at the school.[2] He co-founded the Ale House Inn and the Hotel Portsmouth in historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Academic career

Prior to his tenure at the University of New Hampshire, Innis served as the dean of the College of Business, Public Policy and Health at the University of Maine in Orono, Maine. He also served Ohio University as the Associate Dean of the College of Business, Chair of the Marketing Department, and as a professor in the Marketing Department.

Political campaigns

Innis is a past finance chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party.[3]

2014

Innis was a Republican candidate in the 2014 election for the United States House of Representatives in New Hampshire for the 1st congressional district. He lost the primary to Frank Guinta, who went on to win the general election against Democratic incumbent Carol Shea-Porter.

2016

In October 2015, Innis announced he would again run for Congress in New Hampshire's 1st district. Before suspending his campaign, he was slated to face incumbent Frank Guinta and Jamieson Gradert in the Republican primary on September 13, 2016. Guinta is thought to be vulnerable due to a campaign finance controversy in which he accepted a campaign donation from his parents far exceeding the contribution limit for individuals.[4]

In December 2015, Innis asked his supporters to make year-end contributions to a Manchester drug treatment center, Hope for New Hampshire, instead of to his campaign.[5]

Innis suspended his congressional campaign in March 2016, citing family priorities and business interests.[6]

Innis is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, Alpha Kappa Psi, the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, the American Marketing Association, the Academy of Marketing Science, the Association for Consumer Research, the Council of Logistics Management, and the American Psychological Association.

Personal life

Innis is married to Doug Palardy, with whom he co-founded two New Hampshire hotels.[7][8]
