A Leader for Real Life, Not Just Politics.

I’m Danica Hartenfels. I'm a small business owner, mom, and lifelong Pennsylvanian.

I know first hand the challenges of raising a family, running a business, and giving back to our community. I’m not a career politician. I’m one of you and I’m running for State Representative to bring your voice, your values, and your priorities to Harrisburg.
