David Post, A Leading Voice on the Salisbury City Council for 8 Years
For years, David Post has been walking alongside Salisbury residents, listening, learning, and delivering results.
A Proven Voice for Salisbury’s Future
For more than a decade, David Post has served on the Salisbury City Council, bringing steady, results-driven leadership to the community he calls home.
A lifelong Salisbury resident, David grew up here, attending local schools from kindergarten through high school, and began his professional life serving the community as both a CPA and attorney. His early work in law, business, and finance built the foundation for the practical, people-focused leadership he’s known for today.
Before returning to Salisbury, David worked in Washington, D.C., serving U.S. Senator Terry Sanford, one of North Carolina’s most visionary public leaders.
Trusted Leadership, Real Results
Safe & Secure Communities
David supports Salisbury’s Police and Fire Foundations, ensuring first responders have the training, equipment, and resources to keep families safe.
Reliable Services
He works to maintain dependable infrastructure from clean water systems to fair and effective stormwater management so every household and business benefits.
Smart Growth
With 30,000 to 40,000 new residents expected in the coming years, David is focused on responsible growth that preserves Salisbury’s character while expanding opportunity and protecting quality of life.
Better Transportation
A longtime advocate of MicroTransit, now adopted in more than 20 U.S. cities, David believes Salisbury deserves a modern, efficient public transportation system that connects people to work, education, and community resources.
Local Leadership That Listens
Public Safety is job #1 for any government. When I was elected, our police department had a 20% staffing shortage. With my help, every position is filled, and the community policing idea I proposed 4 years ago is bringing crime down.
Throughout his 10 years on City Council, David has championed transparency, accessibility, and community input in local government.
His Accomplishments Include:
- Separately Elected Mayor: Championed and achieved a voter-approved change for Salisbury to directly elect its mayor.
- Citizen-Friendly Council Meetings: Moved public comments to the start of meetings and adjusted schedules to better serve citizens.
- Rufty Holmes Senior Center: Leading efforts to expand and modernize the center to meet the needs of a growing senior population.
- Economic Development Commission (EDC): Actively engaged in recruiting and retaining businesses that bring jobs and investment to Salisbury.
Committed to Service
David continues to give back through volunteer leadership roles, including:
- Rufty Holmes Senior Center – Program Manager, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
- Alzheimer’s Research Trust – Regional Coordinator
- United Way – Heads the Leadership Circle
