Dave Gardner has been actively involved in city affairs for nearly a decade. He was a candidate for the council seat vacated by Richard Skorman in 2006. He’s been invited to address the Utilities Policy Advisory Committee, Leadership Pikes Peak, American Association of University Women, Learning Unlimited, and classes at UCCS, Fountain Valley School, and the Colorado Springs School - all on local affairs.

He is the only candidate with endorsements from several past and current members of the city and county planning commissions, school board members, a former Colorado governor, a former mayor, leaders of the local black community, and an economist.

Dave has taken very clear stands on the issues. He is not offering vague promises trying to please everyone. He has an impressive knowledge of city affairs. In fact, he has had to correct his opponent, a current council member, at several forums on matters of fact.

If you’re not satisfied with the way things are going in our city, you will want to investigate Dave Gardner. I’m quite certain if you do that you will cast your vote for a positive change for our community.
