David was unanimously elected Chair of the Monroe County Democrats in January, 2022, having served as acting Chair since December, 2021. Prior to this service, David was Vice Chair of the Party, having led a re-branding effort and virtual programs during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

During David’s tenure, the MCDP returned from its COVID isolation and got back to work in the back-to-back-to-back election years of 2022-2024. During his tenure, David maintained the party’s neutrality, allowing for competitive primaries, while shoring up a decayed funding base from pandemic uncertainty.

Party Highlights of his term included:

• Re-engaged with Organized Labor by passing a resolution in support of the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition, hosting joint AFL-CIO/MCDP candidate forums in 2022, lobbying for prevailing wage and licensure ordinances in the county, and offering support to workers going on strike.

• Appointments to the precinct committee were 73% women over his term.

• Re-elected (2022) and re-nominated (2024) an all-women County Commission, the only one in Indiana.

• Elected, and sustained through party caucus, the first majority-women Bloomington Common Council in history.

• Elected the first Women of Color to both the Bloomington Common Council and Monroe County Council, alongside the first Black and Latino County Sheriff, and re-elected Black women to County Clerk and City Clerk.

• Maintained 80% of elected county officials as women, sustaining a 20-year trend in the county.

• Recruited then-Monroe County Treasurer Jessica McClellan as a statewide candidate for State Treasurer in 2022, marking only the second LGBTQIA+ statewide candidate after Pete Buttigieg.

• Increased the number of openly LGBTQIA+ elected officials during his term, and reinstated the party's presence at Bloomington’s Pridefest event.

• Elected the first Generation X Mayor of Bloomington and the first Generation Z member of the Bloomington Common Council, creating a council that spans four generations.

• Elected the third woman to serve as Bloomington Mayor, the first to win in her first term at the ballot box.

• Reflected the county's population more accurately in the caucus with one in four Precinct Committeepersons being IU students.

• Expanded Democratic Party representation on Township Boards in Clear Creek and Salt Creek, and maintained a Democratic 3-1 majority in Stinesville.

• Fielded candidates for all four of its gerrymandered State House Districts in 2024, making it the only Democratic county party in Indiana to do so.

As party chair, David is a voting member of the Indiana Ninth District Democrats Central Committee. He was the first sitting chair since Pat Williams running for City Clerk in 1982-1995, to openly contest and win a nomination for office, rather than running in caucus or after his term as chair.
