David Nelson Announces Candidacy for Roseville City Council, District 2

A Generational Moment for New Leadership Focused on Families and Community

April 8, 2026

ROSEVILLE, CA – David Nelson, a small business owner, government affairs leader, and full-

time single father of three, last night announced his candidacy for Roseville City Council,

District 2 to a packed house at Fourscore in Historic Roseville, marking what he calls a

generational moment for the city’s future.

“Roseville is at a turning point,” said Nelson. “This is a generational moment – an

opportunity to ensure our city continues to be a place where families can thrive, small

businesses can grow, and our quality of life remains second to none. I’m stepping forward

because I believe in Roseville, and I’m ready to carry on the legacy we’ve created as a City.”

David brings a unique combination of real-world experience and proven leadership, having

built a successful firm focused on economic development, small business advocacy, and

navigating complex public policy challenges. Throughout his career, he has worked at the

intersection of local communities and state decision-making – delivering results that

directly impact working families and local economies.

As a full-time single father of three, Nelson says his campaign is grounded in the reality’s

families face every day.

“I’m running as a dad,” Nelson said. “I know what it means to balance work, family, rising

costs, and the desire to give your kids every opportunity to succeed. That perspective

matters, and it’s missing in too many decisions that affect our daily lives.”

His campaign will focus on bread-and-butter priorities for Roseville families, including:

• Safe, strong neighborhoods where families feel secure

• Supporting small businesses and local jobs

• Responsible budgeting and fiscal discipline

• Addressing traffic, infrastructure, and growth responsibly

• Protecting Roseville’s high quality of life

“This campaign is about stepping into a new chapter,” Nelson added. “A new generation of

leadership that is present, accountable, and deeply connected to the people we serve.

Roseville deserves leadership that understands today’s challenges and is ready to meet

tomorrow’s opportunities head-on.”

Nelson emphasized that his approach will be solutions-oriented, community-driven, and

grounded in service, not politics.

“I’m not interested in rhetoric, grandstanding, or standing on the sidelines,” he said. “I’m

ready to do the work – to listen, to lead, and to deliver for Roseville families.”
