"We the People" is how the Constitution starts and it's still the whole idea.
The government is supposed to work for us, because it is us. We truly have more power than Washington wants us to believe.
Dani knows that decisions get made by the people who show up, so this campaign is about encouraging our neighbors to show up. Use your voice and your vote because this is your district.
Politicians in Washington are out of touch with the people it's supposed to serve.
Dani isn't and her pledge is simple: do the work, show up, own the results, and answer to you.
Your voice counts — the people who show up make the decisions
Own it together — this is our government, our district, our future to build
Bring people together — real solutions come from neighbors working together
We the People Amendment – overturning Citizens United, ending corporate personhood, and declare that money is not speech
Outcome: A representative who sees you, listens to you, and works as hard as you do.

The basics are getting harder to afford, and most families in this district feel it.
A roof, decent work, care when you're sick, and a fair shot for your kids; those are the basics of a dignified life, and right now too many of them are slipping out of reach. Costs are up and paychecks haven't kept pace.
Dani will work to:
Keep families housed — help first-time buyers with down-payment support, provide rental assistance
Bring down childcare costs — work toward affordable, quality childcare so no parent has to choose between a paycheck and caring for their kids
Lower health care costs — lower prescriptions cost, cut waste and middlemen, and offer a public option so families have affordable coverage
Make work pay — support small businesses and gig workers, raise the federal minimum wage, and back local jobs that pay fairly
Take on monopolies and price-fixing — break up corporate consolidation and crack down on algorithmic price fixing
Outcome: Fewer families one bad month away from falling behind.

Small-town Arizona is a way of life worth protecting, and Washington keeps forgetting it's here.
Dani lives out here, in Wittmann. She knows the difference between a representative who shows up in the rural communities and one who only remembers them every two
years.
Rural neighborhoods aren't afterthoughts. they're the backbone of Arizona, and they're our neighbors.
Dani will work to:
Expand broadband — the modern highway to jobs and education
Protect the water resources that support families and agriculture
Partner Native communities with respect for
sovereignty
Invest in rural infrastructure and development grants
Outcome: Stronger local economies across the entire district.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 23 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 87 contributions · 51% of ranked | $34,055 |
| Written instead of an employer · 22 contributions · 23% of ranked | $15,550 |
| 2 contributions · 7.6% of ranked | $5,100 |

A further $518 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($394,398) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Total itemized disbursements $428,595
Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 248 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
1 payment was reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $593 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 32 payments · 46% of all spending | $197,000 |
| 12 payments · 9.4% of all spending | $40,499 |
| 26 payments · 7.8% of all spending | $33,675 |
| 2 payments · 7.7% of all spending | $33,195 |

| 5 payments · 3.8% of all spending | $16,575 |
The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
