About David
Who is David Tansey?
I’ve been connected to Cheverly for most of my life—I lived here when I was growing up, and now I’m proud to be raising my family in this wonderful community.
For the past 16 years, I’ve been a public high school math teacher with DCPS. Throughout my career, I have passionately advocated for my students before the DC Council and the State Board of Education. As a member of the teacher leadership teams at both of my schools, I’ve played a key role in shaping decisions on budgets, programming, and personnel. These experiences have given me valuable insight into policy-making, resource management, and organizational leadership.
Since moving back to Cheverly, I’ve remained deeply involved in our community. I serve as the Committee Chair for our Cub Scout Pack and have coached basketball with the Cheverly Boys and Girls Club. I also served on the board of Cheverly Village and continue to volunteer with them to support our neighbors.
I’m running for Town Council because I believe in preserving and enhancing what makes Cheverly special. I am committed to an effective, transparent, and community-driven local government—one that ensures resources are accessible, well-managed, and responsive to residents’ needs. Whether it’s streamlining public space reservations, making the new public works building’s community spaces easy to use, or maintaining an up-to-date town events calendar to keep everyone informed, I want to make Cheverly work better for all of us.
A tight-knit community doesn’t just happen—it’s woven together by people like you.
