She Helped Make Lehigh Valley History Danielle was the Field Manager for the campaign that elected the first African American commissioner in the Lehigh Valley. That is not a line on a resume. That is a community milestone she helped create through disciplined field work and voter engagement. That track record matters when choosing who represents Lehigh County on State Committee.

She Brings Financial Accountability to Political Power As Treasurer of both the Lehigh County Democratic Committee and the PA Democratic Black Caucus, Danielle has demonstrated that she can be trusted with organizational resources at the county and statewide level. Fiscal accountability is not glamorous. It is essential. She delivers it.
