| Collapse all
Rep. McCormick is a lifelong resident of North Caddo Parish. He and his wife (Susan) have been married for 37 years, with 2 children and 6 grandchildren. Their entire family resides in District 1 and have long enjoyed the rural lifestyle.
When the Caddo Lake National Heritage Area was brought to his community via multi-state federal legislation, threatening both personal and private property rights, Rep. McCormick decided it was time to take a stand. Along with a group of friends, Danny formed "Caddo Lake's Last Stand", fought against the federal legislation, and won.
Following that victory, and with prayerful consideration, he made the decision to run for office and won the District 1 seat in Northwest Louisiana.
Rep. McCormick is a proven fighter. Far too often, people run for office to benefit themselves, or other groups, at the expense of the people. Danny is here because the time has come to stand firm FOR the people... to protect our families, our way of life, and our future.
His grassroots movement continues to gain momentum. It has become clear that the people of Louisiana share many of the same concerns, desire the same freedoms, and are ready to stand for them!

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
