It is time for a new and independent face to serve our community on the Concord Township Council
About David Cleary
Independent Leadership
I am David Cleary and I am running for Concord Township Council as an Independent candidate. I believe in providing cost-effective public services and prioritizing public safety for all residents.
I have been a resident of Concord Township, Pennsylvania for the last 25 years. I grew up in Bismarck, North Dakota, attended the Naval Academy and served for 9 years as a Naval Officer before settling in Pennsylvania after my military service. I have a variety of experience in the Concord Township community, as a Naval Officer, and as a professional engineer and project manager that provide a strong background for me to serve our community. I would like your vote on November 4th, 2025.
Hello
Welcome
Our local governments have the greatest impact on our lives, but we tend to know the least about what they are doing and how they are representing our best interests. We need people in local government who inspire residents to be informed and involved, and if and when we are not looking, have our best interests at hea
What does township government do?
The primary role of local government is public safety. The residents elect fellow citizens to oversee and direct government operations within financial budgetary constraints.
1. Police, fire and emergency services
2. Building and municipal code enforcement
3. Land use management and planning
4. Road and infrastructure planning, and maintenance management
5. Revenue and expense planning to fund government operations
The officials appointed and hired to run municipal operations (e.g. police chief, fire chief, township manager, township engineer, code enforcement, public works, etc...). Additionally, there are administrative staff support operations and administration of the local government (e.g. office staff, code enforcement staff, tax collector, solicitor, etc…)
