Dani's
ONE OF US
Why Sterbinsky?
Principled, Pragmatic, and Trustworthy Leadership for Arizona's 9th Congressional District.
Dani’s Mission (and Solution):
-
Focus on People First
-
Set a Higher Standard
-
Deliver Real Results for AZ
"We deserve a representative who sees us, who listens to us, and who works as hard as we do."
- Dani Sterbinsky
A Navy veteran, working mom, and Arizona neighbor running to bring service-first, results-driven leadership back to AZ-09.
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!
Housing Stability
Housing stability is the foundation of family stability.
When rent jumps or home prices skyrocket, everything else falls apart — savings, childcare, retirement, peace of mind.
Dani will work to:
-
Help first-time and first-generation homebuyers achieve ownership
-
Provide rental assistance to keep families and seniors housed
-
Expand starter, workforce, and senior housing construction
-
Stop corporate speculation that prices families out of their own neighborhoods
Outcome: Fewer families one rent increase away from displacement.
Making Work Pay
Working full-time should mean getting ahead — not barely surviving.
Too many families are doing everything right and still falling behind.
Dani will work to:
-
Make childcare affordable so parents can work or train
-
Support small businesses and local entrepreneurs
-
Protect gig and independent workers with portable benefits and fair policies
-
Incentivize job creation that hires locally and pays fairly
Outcome: Real stability for working families and small businesses.
Affordable Healthcare
Healthcare shouldn’t feel like a financial gamble.
No one should delay care because they’re scared of the bill.
Dani will work to:
-
Lower prescription drug costs
-
Expand mental health and preventive care
-
Strengthen rural clinics and telehealth access
-
Cut waste and middlemen that drive up costs
-
Offer a public option so families can choose affordable coverage
Outcome: Better care, earlier treatment, and lower long-term costs.
Education & Job Training
Education is the most reliable path to affordability.
It’s how families build stability for generations.
Dani — shaped by teachers who stepped in when her own life felt unstable — believes every child deserves that same chance.
Dani will work to:
-
Fully fund public schools
-
Increase teacher pay and classroom support
-
Expand apprenticeships, trades, and workforce training
-
Connect education directly to real local jobs
-
Ensure rural communities have equal access to opportunity
Outcome: Skills that lead to steady paychecks — without crushing debt.
Rural & Community Investment
Where you live shouldn’t determine your opportunities.
Rural neighborhoods aren’t afterthoughts — they’re the backbone of Arizona.
Dani will work to:
-
Expand broadband — the modern highway to jobs and education
-
Invest in rural infrastructure and development grants
-
Protect water resources that support families and agriculture
-
Partner with Native communities with respect for sovereignty
Outcome: Stronger local economies across the entire district.
