David’s lifetime of service is defined by fighting for Equity of Opportunities. Whether he was helping Katrina evacuees resettle, creating educational exchanges and economic opportunities in his work at the City of Houston Mayor’s Office of International Affairs and Development, fighting for improved care and rehabilitation for service members and veterans suffering from spinal cord injuries, or advocating and lobbying for veterans and those with disabilities at the Colorado State Capitol; his servant leadership has been and is founded in fighting for that Equity of Opportunities for all.
Just as our forefathers wanted to limit the concentration of power and promote compromise when founding our system of government; unions are a means of the worker to decentralize power and to negotiate for fair pay, better benefits, safer work environments, and better employment practices. They are not a detriment to the economy, rather the key to growing a healthy economy that works for all - strengthening the middle class.
