Tech VP, dad of 3 and neighbor fixing up a home. Let’s keep building a town where families thrive. Howdy, I’m David Glover, and I’m proud to serve as your City Council Member for Place 1 here in Kennedale. I was appointed in 2023 and have been focused ever since on the core values that make local government work: public safety, infrastructure, and transparency. My connection to Kennedale runs deep
. My wife, Elizabeth, graduated from Kennedale High School, and her family has called this town home since 1995. After meeting at Texas Tech—where I earned both my BBA and MBA—we moved back to Kennedale in 2007 to raise our family near the people and values we cherish most. In 2013, we bought a fixer-upper in Shady Creek, and today we’re raising our three kids—ages 12, 9, and 5—just a short walk from their grandparents. Professionally, I’m a bit of a tech nerd. I serve as a Vice President of Software Development where I help lead teams and solve complex problems. I bring that same mindset to City Council—focusing on proactive leadership, collaboration, and long-term planning. I am focused on building a stronger future for our town. Whether it's zoning decisions, infrastructure improvements, or budget priorities, the choices we make today will shape our community for decades to come. I believe in facing challenges head-on, even when it's tough—because the cost of inaction is too high. I’m honored to be endorsed by many of our town’s community leaders and by three of Kennedale’s former mayors: Linda Rhodes, Jan Joplin, and Brian Johnson. I believe in transparency — not just in words, but in action. I believe in teamwork, respect, and listening. No one on council can do it alone—it takes all of us working together.
