Meet Dani

Dani is one of us—a working mom, U.S. Navy veteran, and trusted neighbor. She lives in Wittmann with her husband Phillip (Navy vet), their daughter Flora, and the family dogs Sadie & Pepper.

Petty Officer Sterbinsky served on the U.S.S. Bainbridge (destroyer) in the Mediterranean Sea as an “Operations Specialist.” She earned her Bachelor’s in social sciences from the University of Hawaii, and a Master’s in industrial organizational psychology from Grand Canyon University. As a certified human resources expert, Dani studies how successful teams work.

Dani is NOT a career politician. She is campaigning for public office because Washington elites are out of touch with AZ voters. Sterbinsky is running to give everyday people an independent voice—restoring ownership over government. Dani will listen, fix problems such as affordability, focus on people, and represent us here at home in AZ.

Dani has lived the struggle, worked paycheck to paycheck, and played by the rules. Like many families, after paying the bills for housing, childcare, and healthcare there is nothing left—never mind saving for retirement.

Dani believes in the American dream. Let’s make it achievable for every AZ family. Join Dani’s people-powered campaign today. And please vote Sterbinsky for Congress!

What's Important?

We the People

"We the People" is how the Constitution starts and it's still the whole idea.

The government is supposed to work for us, because it is us. We truly have more power than Washington wants us to believe.

Dani knows that decisions get made by the people who show up, so this campaign is about encouraging our neighbors to show up. Use your voice and your vote because this is your district.

Politicians in Washington are out of touch with the people it's supposed to serve.

Dani isn't and her pledge is simple: do the work, show up, own the results, and answer to you.

Your voice counts — the people who show up make the decisions
Own it together — this is our government, our district, our future to build
Bring people together — real solutions come from neighbors working together
We the People Amendment – overturning Citizens United, ending corporate personhood, and declare that money is not speech

Outcome: A representative who sees you, listens to you, and works as hard as you do.

Affordability

The basics are getting harder to afford, and most families in this district feel it.

A roof, decent work, care when you're sick, and a fair shot for your kids; those are the basics of a dignified life, and right now too many of them are slipping out of reach. Costs are up and paychecks haven't kept pace.

Dani will work to:

Keep families housed — help first-time buyers with down-payment support, provide rental assistance
Bring down childcare costs — work toward affordable, quality childcare so no parent has to choose between a paycheck and caring for their kids
Lower health care costs — lower prescriptions cost, cut waste and middlemen, and offer a public option so families have affordable coverage
Make work pay — support small businesses and gig workers, raise the federal minimum wage, and back local jobs that pay fairly
Take on monopolies and price-fixing — break up corporate consolidation and crack down on algorithmic price fixing

Outcome: Fewer families one bad month away from falling behind.

Country Living

Small-town Arizona is a way of life worth protecting, and Washington keeps forgetting it's here.

Dani lives out here, in Wittmann. She knows the difference between a representative who shows up in the rural communities and one who only remembers them every two

years.

Rural neighborhoods aren't afterthoughts. they're the backbone of Arizona, and they're our neighbors.

Dani will work to:
