WHAT DANIELLE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT

Thanks to an improved border wall and serious enforcement of our immigration laws, illegal border crossings have plummeted, and our country is more secure than it has been in decades. That means a lot to me because during my time at the U.S. Attorney's Office, I worked closely with Border Patrol and saw firsthand the challenges they faced, and the costs of human trafficking and drug smuggling. I believe in strong, enforceable borders, not open ones. Protecting our sovereignty means upholding the law, supporting those on the front lines, and ensuring Arizona remains safe, secure, and free.

When Katie Hobbs took office, Arizona had one of America's best economies. Now, we have one of the worst. That is unacceptable. We need to return to what makes us successful—low taxes and regulations, an educated and trained workforce, and a state government that works to get out of the way and work with job creators to build an environment where businesses of every size can thrive, grow, and hire. 

Approximately 100,000 Arizona children are taking advantage of our groundbreaking Empowerment Scholarship Accounts, and hundreds of thousands of additional kids are enrolled in one of the best charter school programs in the country. These programs are producing improved education outcomes while saving taxpayers money. Yet, Democrats like our State Representative Stephanie Simacek are trying to shut down these programs and force these kids back into district schools that are too often failing, poorly staffed, and hold our kids back. I'll protect and work to keep improving our school choice options so parents and their children can pick programs that work best for them. They deserve nothing less! 

I’m passionate about small businesses because they represent the backbone of Arizona’s economy and the heart of the American dream. As a small business owner myself, I understand the challenges entrepreneurs face: rising costs, excessive regulation, and government red tape that too often stifles growth. I believe the government’s role should be to empower, not hinder, those willing to take risks, create jobs, and strengthen our communities through hard work and innovation.

I believe the Constitution’s guarantee of the right to bear arms is fundamental to preserving every other liberty we hold dear. I will always stand against efforts to erode that right and will fight to ensure Arizona remains a state that respects and protects responsible gun ownership.

Too many of our veterans face barriers to quality healthcare, employment, and the support they deserve after serving this nation. My experience has shown me that bureaucracy too often stands in the way of real help. I’m committed to cutting through the red tape, improving access to mental health care, streamlining benefits, and ensuring no Arizona veteran is left behind. Our state should lead by example, honoring our heroes not just with words, but with action.

As a veteran living with a traumatic brain injury and chronic headaches, I’ve seen how difficult it can be to navigate a system that’s supposed to help. Too often, people with disabilities are met with delays, confusion, and red tape instead of compassion and support. I’m committed to changing that. Arizona must do better in ensuring that every person with a disability has access to timely care, rehabilitation, and the resources they need to live independently and with dignity.
