After serving on the Town Council for the past four years, councilman David Butler has decided to run for re-election. He held a campaign kick-off on Sept. 22 at the Leesburg Executive Airport where he shared some of his visions and goals with a handful of supporters.
“So far the campaign’s gone great. We’ve had a few different events, knocked on a lot of doors and the reception from people has been just great. More than I could hope for,” Butler said. “I think we’ve done a pretty good job managing the town over the last four years and sure it hasn’t been perfect but we’ve done pretty well. We are ranked number four by Money Magazine and I would love the opportunity to serve the town for another four years.”
As in the past, Butler said he would like to focus on making sure that the town continues to be fiscally responsible while providing the best quality of life in the area.
Keeping taxes as low as possible, bringing in more 21st century jobs and beautifying the town are just some of the things that he supports.
Butler also brought up the issue of pedestrian and bicycle access and said that there is “a lot more that we can do to help alternate transportation so people don’t have to get in their cars every time they leave the house.” He referred to Ralfo Park and it's latest bike improvements as an example.
Currently, Butler serves on, or is the council's liaison to the Leesburg Environmental Advisory Commission, Leesburg Tree Commission, Leesburg Economic Development Commission and Virginia Municipal League's Environmental Quality Committee.
He holds a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Clarkson University and a M.S. degree in Manufacturing Engineering from Syracuse University. He is the Chief Security Officer for National Electronics Warranty in Sterling, VA.
Butler, who is one of ten candidates running for Leesburg’s Town Council, said he is looking forward to continuing his campaign and greeting as many voters as possible.
“It’s great talking with people and finding out what’s on their mind, what’s important to them, and what they’d like us to do to make the town even better,” he said. “It’s a bit of a different campaign this time running with national offices. So it’s a little more difficult to get the message out. But we will.”
The Town Council elections will be held on Nov. 6. To learn more about Dave Butler visit his campaign website or call 703-771-0996.

Before you waste your vote on Dave Butler, ask him first about his homosexual and pro-LGBT, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender views.....
Dave Butler is the most disgusting liberal pro-LGBT wanna-be-politician who actually thinks it should be ILLEGAL for people to be opposed to homosexuality on moral, religious grounds or based on personal principles.
In other words, Dave Butler wants to force homosexuality on the rest of us and on public school students.
Could someone give Dave Butler a CONSTITUTION of the United States so he can read for himself - if knows how to read - that Americans have the right to Freedom of Religion, Speech, Association!!!
Demand VOUCHER system for public schools - liberals do not want vouchers because they know that if all heterosexual religious parents send their children to private or parochial schools, the public schools with their homosexual agenda will not be able to survive .....
I found Dave Butler's brochure yesterday in my mailbox.
Among the accomplishments listed are:
- Sunday School teacher at the Episcopal Church
- BOY SCOUT LEADER
hmmm..... as far as I know, The Boy Scouts of America have a policy that anyone who is homosexual or holds pro-homosexual views CANNOT be a Girl Scout or Boy Scout leader .....
Looks to me like a major INTEGRITY crisis.
Leesburg, say NO to homosexual education in public schools and say NO to Dave Butler's homosexual agenda!!!
Leesburg can do better!!!

Ms. Rutkowska, I don't recall even one LGBT issue ever coming before the Leesburg Town Council. By law, we can only legislate on issues that the Virginia General Assembly specifically allows us to. LGBT issues are generally not in our purview, and we have nothing at all to do with schools.
Our focus is on transporation solutions, land use, ensuring we have enough police, picking up the trash, leaves, and brush, supporting our parks and recreation facilities, and just keeping Leesburg a great place to live, where everyone, of all opinions and lifestyles, can enjoy themselves and contribute.

The Radical Homosexuals infiltrating the United States Congress have a plan:
Indoctrinate an entire generation of American children with pro-homosexual propaganda and eliminate traditional values from American society.
US Government should have NO AUTHORITY to force the Homosexual Agenda on the American people, much less their children.
Please, take a few minutes to sign Protect our Children's Innocence Petition, or contact your Senator and Congressman and let them know that you OPPOSE "Student Non-Discrimination Act", which should be more-accurately named "Homosexual Classrooms Act":
