Residents First.
Always.
A collaborative leader, father, and entrepreneur focused on strong neighborhoods, thoughtful growth, and moving Hollywood forward.
Why I’m
running
I’m running for District 3 Commissioner because I care deeply about the future of Hollywood and the quality of life in the neighborhoods we call home.
I’m not a career politician or a political insider — I’m your neighbor, a father, and an entrepreneur who has spent years building organizations that serve families. I believe Hollywood has strong foundations and tremendous potential, and I want to help ensure our city continues moving forward in a way that keeps residents at the center of every decision.
As our city grows, we have an opportunity to plan thoughtfully, strengthen our neighborhoods, and invest in the infrastructure and services families rely on every day.
I’m running to bring a fresh, practical, and forward-thinking approach to City Hall — one that builds on what’s working and keeps residents first.
Meet David

Through his work in the community and local organizations, David has worked closely with residents and understands the everyday needs of families. These experiences have shaped his belief that strong communities are built when residents are engaged and at the center of decision-making. David is running for City Commissioner in District 3 to bring practical, collaborative leadership and keep Hollywood moving forward for the families and neighborhoods that call it home.

Residents First Approach
I believe every decision at City Hall should start with one simple question: Is this good for the people who live here?
Putting residents first means making sure our neighborhoods, our families, and our voices are at the center of every decision — especially right here in District 3.
ON THE ISSUES
-
Families are at the heart of our community, and the decisions we make should reflect that. From safer streets to better parks and programs, we need to make Hollywood a place where families can thrive. When we support families, we build a stronger, more connected city for everyone.
-
Every resident deserves to feel safe — not just on paper, but in their everyday lives. From walking down the street at night to letting kids play outside, safety is about peace of mind. We need to focus on real, neighborhood-level safety so residents truly feel secure where they live.
-
A city should simply work — but too often, residents are left dealing with flooding, poor maintenance, and slow responses. Before we talk about big plans, we need to make sure the basics are handled properly. That means focusing on the everyday issues that impact quality of life in our neighborhoods.
-
Hollywood is growing, but growth should never come at the expense of the people who already live here. Our neighborhoods are what make this city special, and residents deserve a real voice in shaping their future. We need to ensure development is thoughtful, balanced, and respects the character of our community.
-
Residents deserve a city that is financially responsible, transparent, and focused on delivering real value. By managing resources wisely and investing in what truly matters, we can keep Hollywood affordable for families, retirees, and small businesses — without sacrificing the quality of services our community depends on.
