Richard Dansie
Army veteran. Senior Network Security Engineer. Entrepreneur.
Richard Dansie was born and raised in Utah and joined the United States Army just twelve days after graduating high school. He served as a Signal Intelligence Analyst in Army intelligence, specializing in Eastern Europe, where he developed a disciplined, mission-first approach to national security, analysis, and problem solving.
After his military service, Richard built a successful career in information technology and network security. As a Senior Network Security Engineer, he earned a reputation for high-level troubleshooting, systems design, and protecting critical infrastructure. His professional experience spans complex enterprise environments where precision, accountability, and properly aligned incentives matter.
Richard is also a successful entrepreneur, having built and operated multiple ventures. That real-world experience outside of politics gives him a grounded understanding of how regulation, taxation, and federal overreach affect families, workers, and small businesses — not in theory, but in practice.
Richard is running for the United States Senate to restore sanity to Washington, rebuild merit in public life, defend families, and reassert the rule of law. He believes the federal government has drifted far beyond its constitutional role, creating perverse incentives that reward bureaucracy, dependency, and ideological conformity instead of responsibility and results.
His campaign is centered on liberty, accountability, and American renewal. Richard advocates for fiscal discipline, incentive-aligned governance, a strong national defense, and policies that strengthen families rather than replace them.
North Carolina has given Richard opportunity, freedom, and a future. He is running for the U.S. Senate to ensure that same opportunity exists for the next generation — not through promises of government provision, but through freedom, responsibility, and a return to first principles.
