About David T. Hawkins

David  T. Hawkins is running for Leon County Commissioner in District 5. He is  a Tallahassee resident of nearly 60 years, and has been a State  employee for 36 years. David has been involved in the politics of  Florida since 2010, running for County Commissioner for the first time  in 2016; where he received a third of the votes even as an unknown.

Leon  County is David's home, and he strives to care for it alongside the  voters and his fellow Commissioners, without the unnecessary spending  and over budget projects of the past, but with simple and logical  solutions. 

Coming  from a blue collar background, he has continued his life with the  belief that hard work and dedication are the staples of a successful  life, no matter the pursuit. Hard  work and ingenuity are things learned through years of experience, and  as a car guy, David has had many years of learning how to work with what  he has on hand.

His  goal is simple; to make Leon County a safer home for its citizens with  the highest quality of life possible. To listen to the people of this  county, to hear what it is that they need and implement change when  asked. To be a Commissioner is a full time job, and David is prepared to  listen, and to fight when needed, for the people of Leon County.
