FIRST ON FOX: When Devarjay “DJ” Daniel was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer, his father, Theodis Daniel, said he found the courage to fight for his son.

Now, speaking first to Fox News Digital, Daniel said he’s ready to fight for Texas’ 18th congressional district.

Daniel joins a crowded field of candidates from across the political spectrum, but the father and veteran said his campaign is unlike the others.
