Ann Marie Danimus speaks with Walla Walla Democrats

Walla Walla County Democrats welcomed Ann Marie Danimus of Spokane at its Central Committee meeting on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.

Ann Marie is a Democratic candidate for Washington State’s Fifth Congressional District seat. Here’s a brief biographical element from her campaign website:

“Since the age of sixteen, Ann Marie has called Eastern Washington home. She spent several years living in California and Mexico for work and learned valuable lessons about the challenges facing people from different areas. She ultimately returned home to help her elderly mother navigate the healthcare system. As a double transplant recipient, Ann Marie is no stranger to the issues created by our for-profit healthcare system and has spent countless hours inside hospital rooms undergoing medical procedures running the gamut from dialysis to dozens of surgeries.

Her natural tenacity, sense of humor, and talent for problem-solving helped her not only to survive – but thrive. Ann Marie has been a healthcare advocate, support system, and source of encouragement for others facing similar ordeals. She has experienced and seen too much destruction caused by the greed in our system to remain silent in the face of this injustice and she is determined to champion a healthcare system with Universal coverage.”
