A Councilman Who Listens Because He’s Lived It
For almost five decades, he’s worked alongside other laborers, building Cleveland and fighting for the fair pay, safe conditions, and dignity every worker deserves.
On the Cleveland City Council, Danny’s priority hasn’t changed: it’s still about making sure working people get their fair share. He wrote and passed the Fair Wage Employment Law, guaranteeing city workers and contractors are paid at least $15 an hour, ensuring wages keep up with the cost of living.
He also brought Cleveland’s first-ever Union Job Fair to his ward, connecting residents with jobs paying $30 an hour or more, with strong benefits and stability for their families.
Danny’s not just talking about workers’ rights — he’s lived them, fought for them, and delivered results.
