Dave Butler Runs For Unity

Dave Butler held his campaign kickoff this afternoon at the Thomas Balch Library. Kelly Burk and Susan Horne introduced him, and Councilmembers Kevin Wright and Katie Hammler were in attendance along with many friends and neighbors.



Dave's speech begain with his experience serving the Town on the Trails committee, the Utility Rate Advisory Committee and the Economic Development Commission. The heart of his campaign message was unity. Dave told a story about five people moving a piano. The essence of the story was that things get done better and faster when people are pushing in the same direction, instead of against each other. Dave is running to bring people together and move the Council together, in the same direction.

That spirit of progress and cooperation will serve Leesburg well on the Town Council. With the endorsement neighbors with such diverse opinions like Kelly Burk and Susan Horne, not only is Dave Butler running to unite the Town Council, in some small way his campaign already has.
