Daniel E. Innis (born April 7, 1963) is an American academic, businessman and politician. He is a Republican State Senator, representing District 24 in the New Hampshire Senate. He is also 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. He co-founded the Ale House Inn and the Hotel Portsmouth in historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On September 7, 2016, he announced the planned opening of the Great Island Inn in New Castle, New Hampshire, in 2017.
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. He also served Ohio University as the Associate Dean of the College of Business, Chair of the Marketing Department, and was a professor in the Marketing Department.
Innis is a past finance chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party.
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.
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 was 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.
