On the Issues

🟦 Bridging the Divide

I believe in country over party. That means listening to Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike. We may not agree on everything, but we can agree on doing what’s right for our families, our freedom, and our future.

🟦 Real Representation — Not Corporate Influence

I won’t take a dime from corporate PACs or DC lobbyists. My voice belongs to the people of this district — not the highest bidder. I welcome support from grassroots organizations that are funded by everyday people and fight for the same values I’m running on.

🟦A Life of Dignity for Every Coloradoan

Too many people are working full-time and still falling behind. I believe every Coloradan deserves access to affordable housing, healthcare, education, and clean air and water — the basics that give people the freedom to thrive, not just survive.

🟦 Support for Working Families

I'll fight for fair wages, paid family leave, affordable childcare, and practical tax relief for working and middle-class families — not billionaires and special interests.

🟦 Protecting Small Business & Local Economies

As a small business owner myself, I know how hard it is to build something from the ground up. I'll champion Main Street over Wall Street, streamline access to capital, and cut red tape that hurts small business growth.

🟦 National Debt & Fiscal Responsibility

We must tackle the national debt without cutting Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. I'll fight to end wasteful pork spending, close tax loopholes for billionaires and corporations, and invest in what grows our economy—like education, clean energy, and infrastructure. Fiscal responsibility means spending smarter, not hurting the people in our district.

🟦 Protecting Medicare & Medicaid

I’ll fight to fully fund and protect Medicare and Medicaid, because health care is a basic human right — not a privilege just for the wealthy. These vital programs support seniors, working families, and people with disabilities, and I will never support policies that gut them to benefit billionaires or special interests.

🟦 Immigration

We must enforce the law by prioritizing the removal of violent criminals and those committing serious offenses—not targeting workers, students, or families trying to do the right thing. I support strong borders, smart enforcement, and a legal path for those who contribute and seek to become citizens the right way.

🟦 Women’s Rights and Reproductive Care

I believe decisions about reproductive health belong between a woman and her doctor — not politicians. I will always stand up for the right to privacy, freedom of choice, and access to safe, legal reproductive care.

🟦 Gun Safety and the Second Amendment

I support the Second Amendment and the rights of responsible gun owners — including collectors like myself. I also believe we must do more to reduce gun violence in our communities.

That means commonsense steps like universal background checks and closing loopholes — all while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens.

We can honor both safety and freedom — because doing nothing is not an option.

🟦 Standing Up for Veterans & Mental Health

Our veterans deserve more than thank-yous. They deserve quality healthcare, job opportunities, and full support for mental health and reintegration. I’ll prioritize funding for services that actually work — not just headlines.

Donate

Your Donation Matters.

Your Donation Makes a Difference.

This campaign isn’t backed by lobbyists or corporate PACs.

It’s powered by people like you.

I'm running for Congress to bring dignity, decency, and real representation back to Colorado’s 8th District. I’ve lived through poverty. I’ve built a life from nothing. And now I’m stepping up to fight for working families, veterans, small businesses, and everyone who feels left behind by a broken system.

I won’t be bought — and I won’t sell out. That means I need your help to build this movement from the ground up.

Whether it’s $5, $25, or $100 — every dollar goes directly toward reaching voters, spreading our message, and taking on the political machine.

This isn’t just a donation. It’s a declaration: that the people still come first.

🔎 Transparency Statement

I’m running for Congress to represent the people of Colorado’s 8th District — not corporations, lobbyists, or wealthy insiders.

That’s why I will never accept a dime from corporate PACs or Washington lobbyists. My vote and my voice belong to this district — period.

I do, however, welcome support from grassroots organizations and advocacy groups that are powered by people, not profit — groups that share our values of fairness, dignity, and opportunity for all. These organizations help level the playing field for first-time candidates like me who are committed to public service, not political ambition.

My campaign is fueled by real people — and that’s how I’ll serve if elected.

Daniel Hassler – Democrat for U.S. Congress, CO-08
