He currently specializes in strategic communications for clients across the Commonwealth, working on campaigns for political leaders as well as corporate and governmental clients.

Former Army Reserve second lieutenant, he served on a Joint Special Operations Task Force in Afghanistan.

Danny aims to establish a justice system that works for everyone in Bucks County. He will fight hard for reform of criminal justice systems, prioritization of domestic abuse cases and treating addiction as an illness rather than crime – as well as making communities safer overall.
