A Voice for the People

— Not the Political Class

I'm Daniel Hassler, a lifelong Coloradoan and Democrat running for Congress in Colorado’s 8th District—not because I'm proud of the system, but because I believe it must be better. I’m here to serve with integrity, courage, and a deep commitment to the people of this district.

A smiling woman with dark hair and a man with a beard and mustache standing outdoors on a wooded area, with green trees and a partly cloudy sky in the background. The woman is wearing a gray hoodie and jeans, and the man is wearing a red and black plaid shirt and jeans. They are standing close together, and the woman is holding onto the man's arm.

“My wife and I have built a life rooted in love, resilience, and community right here in Colorado. I'm running for Congress to fight for families like ours
— for dignity, opportunity, and a future we can all believe in.”

Why I’m Running

I’ve lived what too many politicians only talk about.

I grew up in Colorado, the child of a painful divorce, raised in extreme poverty. My early life was filled with uncertainty — food stamps, broken homes, and questions that no kid should have to ask: Will we be okay? Will we eat tonight? Will we make it?

But I refused to let those circumstances define me. Through grit, faith, and the support of good people, I worked hard, built a life, and became a successful small business owner right here in Westminster.

Today, I’m proud of what I’ve built — but I’ll never forget where I came from.

That’s why I’m running for Congress.

I’m not a career politician. I’m a husband, neighbor, entrepreneur, and someone who still believes that government should work for the people
— not just the powerful.

I’ve spent my life helping others rise up. Now I’m stepping up to fight for families who feel ignored, for workers who are falling behind, and for everyday Coloradans who just want a fair shot.

This district, our home, deserves someone who knows what it means to struggle — and what it takes to overcome.

I’m Daniel Hassler, and I’m running to be a voice for you.
