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.
