"From the time I met David three years ago, what struck me most was his focus on addressing the every day needs and issues of the local community. As a Ward 2 resident, that is important to me. He is also deeply invested and dedicated to Newton having great schools. As an NPS parent and School Committee member, that is equally important. I look forward to having David as a partner on the City Council."

-Chris Brezski, School Committee Member, Ward 2​

He is committed to listening and learning from constituents and I'm excited for the opportunity to partner with David on the Council in representing the residents of Ward 2."
