In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I would support legislation to strengthen election security and access by requiring paper ballots, transparent audits, and protecting election workers. I also believe in expanding voter access with automatic registration, secure early voting, and mail-in ballots because every eligible American should be able to cast their vote safely and fairly.”
“The greatest challenge our nation faces over the next decade is how we adapt our systems, such as government, education, and the workplace, to rapid change. We're seeing widening inequality, distrust in institutions, and a workforce stretched by automation, rising costs, and burnout. If we don't address these pressures, we risk not just economic instability but social fragmentation. The solutions aren't just about passing new laws. They are about building environments where people can thrive.”
“Two-year terms keep representatives closely tied to the people they serve, which is valuable for accountability. At the same time, it often forces members of Congress to spend more time campaigning than governing. I believe the two-year term length can work, but only if paired with real reforms, like term limits and getting big money out of politics, so representatives can focus on delivering results instead of fundraising.”
“I believe term limits are essential for accountability in Congress. No one should make a career out of holding onto power. Our government works best when there's fresh leadership and new ideas at the table. That's why I've signed the pledge supporting congressional term limits. It's a commitment to put people over politics and to ensure elected officials never forget who they work for: the voters.”
“I'm Dani Sterbinsky, a Navy veteran, certified HR professional, and mother running to represent Arizona's 9th Congressional District. My background in Industrial-Organizational Psychology has allowed me to build a career helping people and organizations succeed. Unlike career politicians, I'm a problem solver committed to fighting for affordable healthcare, a robust economy, strong schools, and accountability in Washington.”
