MADISON – Calling Madison an “amazing gem of a city,” business leader David Bier announced his candidacy today for Madison City Council District 2.
“I am excited to announce my candidacy for Madison City Council,” Bier said. “Madison is unlike any other place in our state, or even the country. Within our city, we have some of the best schools in the nation, thriving greenways, and parks that encourage outdoor enjoyment.
“My vision is to protect and strengthen this amazing gem of a city, while promoting smart and reasoned economic growth.”
A chief operating officer of a local company, Bier’s career spans entrepreneurship, corporate leadership, and public service, giving him a unique perspective on economic growth, strategic planning, and community development, according to a campaign news release.
“I believe my lifelong commitment to leadership, fiscal responsibility, and community driven solutions fuels my vision for Madison’s future — ensuring it remains a thriving, well-planned city that balances growth with quality of life for families, businesses, and future generations,” he said. “Through thoughtful planning, collaboration, and a steadfast commitment to our identity, we can preserve the uniqueness that makes Madison such a special place to live.”
As a member of the Committee of 100, Bier has been involved in the community while fostering strategic partnerships that strengthen Madison’s future. He has also led a business roundtable through Studer Community Institute and mentored entrepreneurs through the Spring MIT Venture Mentoring Services Program.
“My core values drive me to confront difficult decisions and tackle problems head-on,” Bier said. “When our city faces challenges, I promise to do what comes naturally to me: bring people with diverse opinions together, address the hard issues, explore opportunities, and always find a path forward.”
Bier and his wife, Jennifer, have two sons, Ryan and Matthew. He has been involved as a Scouting volunteer, baseball coach, and Faith Factory teacher at The Brook Church.
Bier’s official kickoff campaign will take place this spring.
The municipal election is Aug. 26.
