Daniel is a first-time candidate who decided to run after witnessing too many elected leaders show callous disregard for the needs and struggles of the people they claim to serve. In an effort to advance the movement for social change, he wants to be in a position where he can make a tangible difference in other peoples’ lives and ensure that underrepresented communities – be it communities of color, people experiencing homelessness, immigrants, members of the LGBTQ community – have a true champion in their corner. Daniel is running on The Grassroots Slate and plans to address homelessness, systemic racism and inequality, climate change, gun violence, all while promoting a foreign policy centered around diplomacy.
