Danielle Dronet is a professional and community activist who lives with her family in Cleveland Heights. In 2014, Danielle opened a licensed mental health practice on the East Side that specializes in trauma. Her professional experiences led her to establish an economic legislative advocacy non-profit organization CAMHP Foundation in 2015. In 2020, she launched the Society of Economic Sovereignty for Women (SOESFW) for domestic abuse survivors. As a candidate for the Ohio House of Representatives she offers District 9 the opportunity for substantial demonstrable change.
  • I am a first responder, a public servant. From my first job in Los Angeles, where I developed the role of communicator between residents-in-crisis and city bureaucracy and law enforcement, my professional life has prepared me very well for holding political office for District 9. Every day I hear the personal lives of residents of our district. I founded a non-profit and I designed a residential program for domestic abuse survivors as responses to these experiences. I’m also running for this office in response to them. Also, it is important to note that I’m making availability-of-office an essential component of my campaign for District 9 Representative. I hear from residents that they know that their voices are being heard.
  • When I think of a District 9 that is working the way it should, I think of economic stability for residents. I think of a safe collection of cities and neighborhoods where residents don’t have to worry about their families being poisoned by lead paint, or subjected to hate crimes, or marginalized by the interests of the big players. I think of greenspaces that encourage neighbors to get out of their homes and talk to each other. All these goals are well within our means. Most of all, it is important to me that this campaign stays true to the everyday needs of residents. Those needs define my professional life, and they certainly define this campaign. Residents are the heartbeat of the neighborhoods that make up District 9.
  • My term of office will only be 24 months. In that limited time, there’s a lot I want to cover in bringing as much benefit to the everyday needs of residents as I can. Right now, here are some of the key issues I see as important as a resident of our district: Repurposing of vacant housing; A block grant or dollar-matching program for street-by-street residential property lead removal, and rebuilding of housing structures that are no longer stable; Blockchain technology ensures puts residents in control of services requests; they can easily file and respond to action on tickets, housing vouchers, and submission of forms, and monitor progress on these matters; Effective community policing; Fair homeowner’s insurance rates for houses with
My term of office will only be 24 months. In that limited time, there’s a lot I want to cover in bringing as much benefit to the everyday needs of residents as I can.

Right now, here are some of the key issues I see as important as a resident of our district:

Repurposing of vacant housing;
A block grant or dollar-matching program for street-by-street residential property lead removal, and rebuilding of housing structures that are no longer stable;
Blockchain technology ensures puts residents in control of services requests; they can easily file and respond to action on tickets, housing vouchers, and submission of forms, and monitor progress on these matters;
Effective community policing;
Fair homeowner’s insurance rates for houses with knob & tube electric;
Fair tax rates, abatement, and additional contributions by the wealthier members of our community;

New greenspace for community beautification and quality of life.
I look up to President Jimmy Carter; though his economic policies were criticized by some, his development of Habitat for Humanities is priceless. President Carter created a program that provided a direct effect on Americans' daily life. Habitat for Humanities provided a transparent gateway to housing which is a phenomenon not present in our social service system.
Elected officials who see themselves as an public servant and not a career politician serves our country the best
The core responsibility of an elected official is transparency of their thoughts as it relates to what is presented by their constituents. An elected official’s wishes and motives for actions must align with the motives of the community
My first historical event that I recall is 911 and I was 36 years old at the time.
My career began as an investigating social worker for Los Angeles County. I was a first responder for sixteen years.
The benefits of the unicameral state legislature can be the ability to create unity and drive energy into an agreed position/bill/political stance. The problem is the lack of transparency as a state unicameral legislature can enter into groupthink. Separation of opinion from any unicameral group can create fear and anxiety; this form of reaction to separation from a group can stifle free speech, willingness to take a positive risk, and resulting in a representative not advocating for constituents.
I do not believe legislatures be required to have political experience. Rather, professional experience that supports the needs of the community is a vital requirement.
I will seek to be assigned to the state health and human service committee. This committee is at the heart of having access to and the ability to directly affect Americans struggling economically.
Residents have shared many personal stories with a common theme of feeling ignored and on the fringe of concern for local government. The amount of work, energy, and blind faith residents have in their government and receiving so little. Residents are the rich deep soil from which our country economically grows. Yet, the necessary alignment needed to support constituents is directed toward large corporations and other forms/entities that contain wealth and social capital.
