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.
