David was a true advocate for the Westside of Corpus Christi, born and raised from the neighborhood of Molina. He was a former City Councilman, former County Commissioner, and enjoyed his time as a Radio Host at Magic Q 104.9 Tejano Radio. He was also a West Oso Hall of Fame recipient, a Tejano Roots Hall of Fame broadcaster and a true public servant.
David was highly civic minded. As a young boy and man, he was actively involved at Universal Little League as a player, coach, umpire, and officer. He was also involved in local elections especially at Skinner Elementary Precinct 80 and advocated for candidates and issues that improved Nueces County, Corpus Christi, Westside, West Oso, and Molina neighborhood.
David was selected as the Molina Veterans Committee Chairman which renamed Laguna Park to Molina Veterans Park and Erected The Molina Veterans Monument in honor of 8 young men that died in the Vietnam War. David protested the Corpus Christi ISD Superintendent's Interviews (No Hispanic or Local Finalists) conducted at a private facility the CC Yacht Club. This meeting was ruled in violation of the Open Meetings Act. The All Anglo Superintendent Finalists withdrew. The new Finalists included three CCISD Hispanic Assistant Superintendents. Ultimately, the first Hispanic Superintendent in CCISD history was selected.
As a city councilman, David advocated successfully for Westside infrastructure improvements including streets, curbs, gutters, neighborhood parks, and lighting. He successfully assisted the Westside Baseball Youth Sports and Greenwood Softball Complex improvements with lights, fences, backstops, concessions, turf, etc.
He was a strong advocate for The Greenwood Seniors Center, Greenwood-Molina Children's Center, Neighborhood Centers of CC, and The Greenwood Library. David led the successful fight not to privatize the profitable CC Gas Department to keep lower costs for the citizens. He was the lone city council person that proposed to name the entire Bayfront Convention Center Complex for Selena Quintanilla Perez which resulted in the Selena Auditorium. David led a local turned national protest and boycott against Howard Stern and his sponsors because of his demeaning comments about Selena after her death. Stern apologized and the boycott ended.
As a county commissioner, David was highly accessible to his Precinct 2 constituents and listened and/or helped any and all Nueces County residents. He voted for the bonds that created the now Fairgrounds and Aviators baseball park. He also pushed for county roads, bridges, drainage, parks, and community centers improvements for the rural areas including Bishop, Banquete, and Agua Dulce.
