Connect with your community, meet Dave, and be part of the conversation that shapes Ward 6’s future.
This dinner event is about bringing the community together in a setting that encourages real conversation and connection. For Dave, hosting a dinner like this reflects how he believes leadership should function. He values listening as much as speaking, and sees these moments as essential to staying grounded in the needs and experiences of the people he hopes to represent.
He takes the voices of our community members seriously and wants to engage with them directly. This event isn’t just about meeting a candidate, it’s about building relationships, strengthening community ties, and demonstrating Dave’s commitment to being a present, engaged, and accountable leader for Ward 6.
This event is designed to bring the community together in a relaxed, welcoming setting where real conversations can happen. By hosting a casual coffee meet-up, Dave Marlon is creating an opportunity for neighbors to connect not just with a candidate, but with one another. People can share concerns, exchange ideas, and feel heard in a space that’s comfortable and familiar. A strong community is built through relationships, dialogue, and showing up for one another. For Dave, this event reflects how he approaches leadership. He believes that effective city council members don’t lead from a distance: they listen, engage, and stay connected to the people they serve.
This monthly gathering isn’t about speeches or spectacle; it’s about trust, accessibility, and building the kind of civic connection that leads to better representation and better outcomes for Ward 6.
Women for Dave is a celebration of the women who already power this movement and an open invitation to those who want a city government that listens, acts, and gets stuff done. Women are the backbone of strong communities: they are caregivers, workers, homeowners, renters, organizers, and advocates, and they are often the first to feel the consequences when local government fails to deliver.
This event recognizes that reality and centers women as key partners in shaping the future of Ward 6. Women for Dave makes clear that David Marlon’s leadership is rooted in collaboration, respect, and real-world problem solving, not empty rhetoric.
