Frank Leist for Danville City Council

06/02/2026

Tonight I’m heading to Danville City Council and I’m coming with a full agenda.

Here’s what I’ll be speaking on:

• Water infrastructure. Danville transfers approximately $10 million from utility funds into the General Fund each year. Should more of that money stay in our water, gas, and electric systems?

• Personal property tax. A dime-per-hundred reduction is a start, but what’s the long-term plan for taxpayer relief?

• Goodyear and Jet Zero. A major aerospace opportunity is developing just 45 minutes away. Danville already has an aviation supplier on the ground. We should be positioning ourselves now.

Join the Council Chambers tonight 7pm est.

Keep it Frank.

It's official. I'm on the ballot! 🗳️

You'll find me at #8 on the ballot for Danville City Council.

Here's what I'm fighting for:

✅ Phasing out the personal property tax
🏠 Better homes for Danville families
💼 Better paying jobs in our community
🌱 Keeping our youth in Danville

I've been showing up at council meetings, asking hard questions, and fighting for this community long before I filed to run. That doesn't stop now. It's just getting started.

Keep it Frank, Danville. Let's make it count. 💪

Final push I need your signature TODAY.

I’ve been out talking to people one on one and I’m grateful for everyone who’s already signed. Now it’s crunch time.

I’ll be in the Ballou Park area all day today. Come find me or I’ll come to you and let’s get this done.

This is the last step to get on the ballot. Every signature counts. 🙏

This year we’re going to talk about real problems and real solutions.

Not talking points.

Not campaign slogans.

Not vague promises.

Danville deserves candidates who actually engage with the issues, not just mention them to check a box.
That’s the standard I’m holding myself to. And the standard I’ll hold this race to.

Our light bills have been a real burden on Danville families and tonight, Danville Utilities is stepping up with transparency by hosting a Public Information Meeting to share updates and answer our questions.

An informed community is a stronger community. Understanding what's driving our utility costs and what resources are available to us is so important and meetings like this make that possible.

With all the concern that's been raised, this should be a packed house!
