Danny's unique qualifications
With over 40 years as a business and civil litigation attorney, Danny brings unparalleled experience to the City Council. His background includes:
- Drafting and advising clients with voluminous contracts and accounting records.

Truly Selfless Public Service
Danny is uniquely positioned to serve Mesa residents without extreme personal views or external influence. He is:
- Least likely to be influenced by elites or financial incentives (e.g., large donations for future campaigns).
- Not seeking a new career or personal enrichment.
- Driven by duty and service, not ambition.
- Lives modestly without any ties to social clubs, country clubs or the "Old Boy" network.
- Free from any obligations to special interests, developers, or businesses.
- Accepts only small individual donations without "quid pro quo."
- Committed to devoting his full-time to the office, as he believes it is needed to understand the issues before acting.
His humble lifestyle, such as living in a one bedroom 55+ apartment and still driving his 13-year-old Nissan Xterra, reflects his genuine working class roots and desire for public service over personal gain.
"I look at this office as a job. I will use my skills to gather all relevant information about any issues that come up, and I will analyze it to make the best decision for my district."
