DAVID IN POLITICS
David has been involved in Idaho politics since 2018. In 2020 he ran for the state legislature in District 33.

In the general he got the highest percentage of votes against Mike Crapo of any previous Democrat. In 2024 David was elected at the state convention to the role of National Committeeman and also received the Democratic nomination to the U.S. House.
