Campaign themes
2014
In an article in the Albuquerque Journal, Danner said he was running for the following reasons:[2]
- Excerpt: "The voters of District 8 want a representative that will work to improve the quality of life in Valencia County and the state of New Mexico. The economy, education, community and individual wellness are what drives this quality of life. The Legislature needs to place an emphasis on these items. Legislative decisions define how and what to invest in. I will always vote to invest in the human side of the equation rather than the special interests side of the equation. Everyone needs to work together to ensure New Mexico moves forward in 2014."
