ⓘ What do the party and ideology labels mean?
On the ballot, partisan candidates run under a party — in Wisconsin almost always Democratic or Republican, with the occasional third-party or independent candidate. Words like progressive, conservative, libertarian, or democratic socialist are labels people use to describe themselves, not separate parties on the ballot. A label is a starting point; each candidate's sourced positions show where they actually stand.

And we're off! First fundraiser was a success. Both Dean Kaufert and Nate Gustuvson have endorsed me. This will be a tough battle to win. I think with all the support we are getting and with a lot of hard work we can pull this off. Plus with my wife of 39 years, Lucy, fully supporting me it helps get me out the door to do the work I need to do. And I'm not that short. Dean and Nate are just really tall.

The Loop the Lake Trail is a great example of what the Knowles-Nelson program can accomplish right here in our communities. I support reauthorizing the Stewardship Program to protect Wisconsin’s land, expand recreation, and invest in our communities. If you send me to Madison, I’ll fight to make it happen. #Wisconsin #KnowlesNelson #LoopTheLake

I’m a veteran, a small-business owner, and someone who knows what it means to make every dollar count. I’ve even skipped paying myself to make sure my employees got paid. That’s the same mindset I’ll bring to Madison. Wisconsin has almost a $3 billion surplus. That means government is collecting more than it needs. I believe that money belongs back in the pockets of hardworking Wisconsin families, not used as an excuse to grow government. Madison should tighten its belt, not yours.

Thank you to State Representative Dean Kaufert for his endorsement and support. Dean has never been one to make decisions based solely on party lines, and I’m grateful to have his confidence and support. https://www.wispolitics.com/2026/rep-kaufert-announces-endorsement-of-david-daniels-for-the-53rd-assembly-district/

David Daniels is an Air Force Vet and father of five who owns a small business right here in the Fox Valley. David Daniels is not...a lobbyist. While Becky Nichols and her allies continue to lie, David understands exactly how rising costs are putting the pressure on Wisconsin families and small businesses. Because David is living it and he is running for Assembly to fix it. Prioritize lower property taxes and healthcare costs, hold data centers accountable, and bring new ideas to Madison. Vote early starting October 20th or on Election Day for David Daniels for Assembly STOP to opt-out
