(Campaign website)A Leader for Real Life, Not Just Politics: “I know first hand the challenges of raising a family, running a business, and giving back to our community. I’m not a career politician. I’m one of you and I’m running for State Representative to bring your voice, your values, and your priorities to Harrisburg.”
(Campaign website) “Born in East Stroudsburg and raised in Pike County’s Delaware Township, Danica comes from a family with deep ties to our region. Her father, a Navy veteran, local printer for decades, and employee at Dingmans Bridge, and her mother, a respected legal secretary in Monroe County, raised her with the values of hard work, service, and community. Her family’s roots in the district go back generations — her grandfather was a well-known builder in Dingmans Ferry.”
