Daniel MacArthur Gade (born February 7, 1975) is an American disability and veteran rights activist, political candidate, professor, and researcher. He became an amputee in 2005 while serving as a company commander in Ramadi, Iraq. Gade retired from the United States Army as a lieutenant colonel in 2017. He is the Republican nominee for the 2020 election to represent Virginia in the United States Senate over incumbent Democrat Mark Warner.[1][2]

Early life and education

Gade was born and raised in Minot, North Dakota. In 1997, he graduated from the United States Military Academy (West Point) with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. Gade graduated with a Master of Public Administration and a Doctor of Philosophy in public administration and public policy from the University of Georgia in 2007 and 2011, respectively.[3][4]

Career

Gade was wounded in action twice and decorated for valor while serving as a tank company commander in Iraq.[5] After Gade's second injury, his entire right leg was amputated.[6] He was awarded the Bronze Star and the Legion of Merit.[7]

Gade has advocated for veteran disability policies that encourage self-reliance and vocational rehabilitation.[8] He has authored a couple of scholarly articles in that field, most notably in Health Economics and the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory.[9][10] In 2012, Gade began serving as an advisor at the Philanthropy Roundtable for its veterans work.[11] In 2013, he published an article in National Affairs about disability benefits and their failure to achieve positive outcomes for disabled veterans.[12] In 2013, Gade's National Affairs piece was used by Laura Beil to help construct her case in a Men's Health article that failed public policy causes veteran suicide, and the murders of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield partially stem from it.[13] In 2013, Gade authored an article in The Wall Street Journal discussing issues with disability claims in the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.[14] In 2013, Gade wrote in Philanthropy (magazine) that philanthropists should consider long-term incentives with self-reliance as their primary objective if society wants to see social issues mitigated, particularly among disabled veterans.[15] In 2013, Gade's research was acclaimed by Yale University psychiatrist Sally Satel and Harvard University psychologist Richard McNally in an article they published in the The Atlantic.[16] In 2014, Gade noted to Alan Zarembo of the Los Angeles Times that public policy pertaining to disabled veterans is misguided by the public's opinion of what constitutes as a disabled veteran.[17] In 2015, he spoke with Dave Philipps of The New York Times about his proposals to encourage disabled veterans to find work instead of relying solely on disability benefits.[18]

In 2015, Gade's research about transitioning from a direct to an indirect form of disability benefits has been covered by Phil Harvey and Lisa Conyers in the Los Angeles Times.[19] In 2015, he spoke with Marketta Davis of the Pensacola News Journal about the potential dangers of disability benefits, stating, "Too many veterans become financially dependent on monthly disability checks, choose not to find jobs, and lose their sense of identity and self-worth that can come from work."[20] In 2018, he told Drew Brooks of The Fayetteville Observer that his research was being financially sponsored by Philanthropy Roundtable, under the working title the Independence Project, and they were now looking to conduct large sample sizes with disabled veterans to see if an incentive structure would reduce social issues compared to disability benefits among disabled veterans.[21] In 2019, he co-authored a piece with Lila Rose in The Hill (newspaper) where they argued against abortion in cases where the fetus has abnormalities detected in it.[22]

Gade served in the administration of President George W. Bush.[23] Gade returned to West Point in 2011, and he retired from the Army in 2017.[23] In 2015, Gade was appointed to the National Council on Disability.[24] In 2017, Gade was nominated to be a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,[23] but later withdrew from consideration citing the "toxic political climate in Washington."[25]

Since 2019, Gade has worked as a Professor of Practice at American University's School of Public Affairs.[26][27]

Politics

Elections

Main article: 2020 United States Senate election in Virginia

Gade is the Republican nominee for the 2020 election to represent Virginia in the United States Senate.[28] He faced adjunct professor and public school teacher Alissa Baldwin and defense contractor and retired Army intelligence officer Thomas Speciale in the Republican primary.[29] Gade became the nominee after garnering 67% of the vote while Baldwin and Speciale received 18% and 15%, respectively.[28] The seat is currently held by Democrat Mark Warner.[30] Although polling suggests Warner will win the general election, Gade has garnered some positive press for his more moderate views, compared to the current Republican mainstream.[31]

Personal life

Gade lives in Mount Vernon, Virginia, with his wife, Wendy, and their three children.[32] He became the paralympic world champion at the 2010 Ironman 70.3 in Clearwater, Florida.[33] In an article published in the Minot Daily News, Gade is highlighted as an inspirational local character in former President George W. Bush's Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief's Tribute to America's Warriors. Bush described cycling with Gade as "unbelievable" given Gade's injury.[34] Gade is a competitive cyclist.[35]
