George,

Dave Norris exemplifies the type of leadership that the City of Charlottesville needs, not just as a Mayor but as a member of Council. While his talents are many, I think what is most important is that he brings smart and proactive ideas to the table and works to build consensus for a better Charlottesville. I am delighted that he'll be the next Mayor and look forward to his continued leadership.
