In their own words
What Dafis's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Dafis's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.

- “An Economy that works for Everyone”
- “Fortifying Public Education”
- “Taking Action on Climate Change”
- “A Sustainable Approach to Affordable Housing and Housing Justice”
- “Protecting LGBTQ+ Rights”
Quoted from dafisforcongress.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.
Record in office
Dafis has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.
That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.
