David is a 4th generation SLC resident working to better our community, empower citizens, and stop corporate interests being prioritized over the will and interests of the people. He cares deeply about your voices being heard, processes being transparent, and voters making the final decisions that affect their communities.
Progressive Democrat David Berg is a community advocate and healthcare worker for our unhoused neighbors. Serving as House District 22 Chair for the Democratic Party and a board member of the Greater Avenues Community Council, David will bring his dedication for justice and innovative, community led solutions to the Salt Lake City Council.
Since 2000, David has advocated and fought for Ranked Choice Voting and is excited to see that in the 2025 election, RCV will be used in SLC and throughout cities across Utah!
In 2003 David worked with civil rights attorney Brian Barnard in an effort to remove hateful, anti-LGBTQ+ language from Utah state law.
In 2006, when free speech at the Utah State Capitol building was under attack, he again teamed up with Brian Barnard and the Disabled Rights Action Coalition. They filed suit in federal court to protect the people and their right to exercise free speech and won that battle.
As Vice Chair of the Utah Democratic Party Environmental Caucus, David is fought for clean air and water, and worked to stop the polluting port on Salt Lake City's west side.
As part of the coalition working to establish an arts and theater district downtown, David is working to restore the SLC citizen owned Historic Utah Pantages Theater, and bring the now empty Main Street lot back under SLC Community ownership after it was signed over to a large Texas developer in a questionable $0 back room deal.
On the same block, David is spearheading the effort to reopen Dinwoody Park to the public.
As part of the Salt Lake City Council, David will continue to fight for civil rights, the arts, animal welfare, parks, the environment, actually affordable housing, historic preservation, accountability in politics, electoral reform, and will work hard for a more informed and engaged electorate.
