A Voice for the People — Not the Political Class

I'm Daniel Hassler, a small business owner running for Congress in Colorado’s 8th District. I’m not here to play politics — I’m here to represent everyday people with honesty, grit, and purpose.

A smiling couple standing outdoors in a forested area with pine trees, wearing casual clothing. The woman has dark hair and is wearing a gray hoodie, while the man has short hair, a beard, and is wearing a red and black checkered shirt. A faint rainbow is visible in the cloudy sky behind them.

“My wife and I have built a life rooted in love, resilience, and community right here in Colorado. I'm running for Congress to fight for families like ours
— for dignity, opportunity, and a future we can all believe in.”

Why I’m Running

I’ve lived what too many politicians only talk about.

I grew up in Colorado, the child of a painful divorce, raised in extreme poverty. My early life was filled with uncertainty — food stamps, broken homes, and questions that no kid should have to ask: Will we be okay? Will we eat tonight? Will we make it?

But I refused to let those circumstances define me. Through grit, faith, and the support of good people, I worked hard, built a life, and became a successful small business owner right here in Westminster.

Today, I’m proud of what I’ve built — but I’ll never forget where I came from.

That’s why I’m running for Congress.

I’m not a career politician. I’m a husband, neighbor, entrepreneur, and someone who still believes that government should work for the people
— not just the powerful.

I’ve spent my life helping others rise up. Now I’m stepping up to fight for families who feel ignored, for workers who are falling behind, and for everyday Coloradans who just want a fair shot.

This district, our home, deserves someone who knows what it means to struggle — and what it takes to overcome.

I’m Daniel Hassler, and I’m running to be a voice for you.
