Meet David

David McMahon is running for Norristown Council At-Large to make change right here where we live.

“It’s about working together – sharing ideas, building skills, and coming together to defend, build, and get the Norristown we all envision.”

David is a community and worker organizer. In 2020, he co-founded Norristown Opposes Privatization Efforts (NOPE), a community group dedicated to stopping the corporate takeover of our sewer and wastewater system—an essential public utility. NOPE’s anti-privatization campaign victory has saved and will continue to save Norristown residents millions of dollars yearly.

DEFEND WHAT WE HAVE

  • Historic Preservation – Protecting Norristown’s cultural and architectural heritage.  

  • Retaining Local Control of Public Utilities – Ensuring residents have a say in essential services.  

  • Public Safety – Keeping neighborhoods secure through community policing, violence prevention, and trust-building.  

  • Housing Stability – Preventing displacement and protecting affordable housing.

BUILD WHAT WE NEED

  • Revitalizing the Business District – Supporting local businesses, attracting new investment.  

  • Community Gardens & Parks – Expanding green spaces and food access.  

  • Housing First Policy – Partnering with the county to reduce homelessness.  

  • School-Based Community Centers – Adding health clinics, after-school programs, and adult education.

GET WHAT WE WANT

  • Fully Integrated Community Schools – Schools as hubs for health, education, and job training.  

  • Equitable Economic Growth – Ensuring all our diverse communities benefit from development.  

  • Sustainable & Inclusive Town Planning – A walkable town where housing, transit, and opportunity are accessible to all

If I could change one thing...

If I could change one thing about Norristown Council, it would be to ensure that residents’ voices are not just heard but actively shape the decisions that impact our lives.
