Without the benefit of a college degree, Daniel experienced firsthand the hardships faced by many blue-collar families, especially following the 2007 housing market crash. Determined to support his growing family, he took on multiple demanding jobs, including warehouse labor and agricultural work, often juggling long hours and double shifts to make ends meet.
In 2014, driven by a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Daniel founded DK Builders, a residential construction company that has successfully built over 100 homes and created hundreds of jobs within the district. His experience overcoming economic challenges has reinforced his commitment to conservative principles of fiscal responsibility, limited government, and strong community values.
Today, Daniel is running for Congress to bring these values and his real-world experience to Washington, DC. He is committed to protecting Arizona’s families, securing the border, defending the Second Amendment, and fighting- Border Security and Immigration:
End birthright citizenship. Mandate E-Verify employment verification.
Strict enforcement of immigration laws. - Economic Growth: Support trade policies that protect American workers. Maintain and expand Trump-era tax cuts. Reduce government spending and inflation through deregulation and small-government policies. Restore the full child tax-credit to make raising a family more affordable.
- Social and Cultural Values: Defend Second Amendment rights without compromise. Oppose taxpayer-funded abortions and uphold strong pro-life policies. Eliminate woke indoctrination from schools, focusing on academic excellence. Champion the Bill of Rights against government encroachment into our lives.
Term limits will help restore accountability, reduce corruption, and ensure that power stays where it belongs: with the American people. I believe Congress functions best when it’s made up of citizen-legislators men and women who bring real-world experience, serve their communities with integrity, and then return home.
I am also proud of the successful residential construction company I have built through hard work, perseverance, and the limitless possibilities of the American Dream. My journey as a small business owner has shown me firsthand how innovation, opportunity, and determination can change lives. It has made me deeply committed to preserving those same opportunities for every family and every entrepreneur across our community.
