Egan was born in Juneau, Territory of Alaska, on March 3, 1947.

He was the son of Bill Egan, a politician active in Alaska Territory who would go on to service as the state's first and fourth governor, and Neva Egan (née Desdia Neva McKittrick), who served as First Lady of Alaska during her husband's time as governor.

Egan was deputy mayor of Juneau in 1995.

He was appointed mayor when Byron Mallott resigned in order to become executive director of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation; Mallott had believed he could do both jobs, but his plans drew criticism anyway, and he resigned as mayor.

Dennis Egan won reelection in 1995 and 1997.

1997

His opponent, Cory Mann, was a "newcomer to politics", according to the Juneau Empire, and had not filed for election until October 2, five days before the filing deadline to run for office.

An effective mayor, Egan helped mediation efforts to end an August 1997 Alaska Native Brotherhood boycott of the 51st Golden North Salmon Derby (1997 Golden North Salmon Derby Boycott).
