Dave Norris is a former member of Charlottesville City Council (2006-2013). Norris is currently running for the Democratic nomination for House District 54 in the General Assembly in the 2023 election.[2] He has also held a variety of leadership positions in the nonprofit sector as well as a stint as General Manager of the Charlottesville Parking Center. Norris also served as Mayor of Charlottesville from 2008 until the end of 2011. [3]

Norris is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the House District 54 spot in the June 20, 2023 primary. [4]

Biography

Norris lives in Charlottesville and has three children: Eli, Chloe,[1] and Ben.[5]

Work history

Norris has also been employed as Executive Director of PACEM, the Associate Director of Madison House, the Interim Director of the Public Housing Association of Residents ((PHAR) and has served as chair of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board of Commissioners.[6]

Norris has served as Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Blue Ridge and left that position in June 2011. [7][dead link] [8][dead link]

Toward the end of his time on Council, Norris founded The Charlottesville Institute and served in this role from [2012] to [2013]. The organization sought to make connections between the University of Virginia and the greater community. [9][10][11] The organization is now defunct.

Parking Job

Norris was hired as executive director of the Charlottesville Parking Center in March 2016. He said the lawsuit against the city filed by the CPC earlier that month was a "bump in the road" and he hoped it would be resolved before he began work in June. [5] It was not.

City officials questioned Norris' qualifications to do the job, stating that he did not have six months of experience in parking management. [12]


City Council

Norris was first elected to Charlottesville City Council in the 2006 election and again in the 2009 election. Council elected him to a second term as Mayor at their first meeting in 2010 but only after Norris nominated Councilor Holly Edwards. Edwards declined the position but did agree to be vice mayor. [13]

Norris announced in late January 2013 that he would not seek a third term to Council.[14]

Committee assignments

After being elected in 2006, Norris was appointed to serve on the MPO Policy Board, an assignment he held until 2010. [15]

In 2011 and 2012, Norris represented the City on the now defunct Planning and Coordination Council and the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority.[16] However, he left the CRHA committee in January 2013.[17]
