“Daria embodies the kind of leadership Olympia needs - principled, balanced, and pragmatic. He’s committed to binding the wounds of our nation by cutting through the scar tissue of partisanship and focusing on what unites us. A courageous and creative problem solver, Daria leads with both heart and reason, listening before he speaks, asking the right questions, and bringing people together to get things done.”
- Ed Stern, Mayor of Poulsbo
“In Bremerton, we know who shows up and who just talks. Daria leads with principle and respect - he listens, builds real relationships, and takes action alongside our community. Without holding office, he’s already brought people together across real divides, and that’s the kind of leadership our community and Olympia need more than ever.”
- Shannon Turner, Bremerton School Board Member
