K. David Schultz
About the Candidate: David and his wife Deborah raised their two daughters in western CT, where they developed close family relationships with a deep appreciation of nature, a firm commitment to lifelong learning and meaningful connections with community and civic life. They were thrilled several years ago to make Avon their home bringing them closer to their church community and their family where they make a positive impact in the daily lives of their four grandchildren. Both enjoy living near Avon’s civic center and its wealth of cultural, commercial and natural resources with easy access to the Farmington Valley Trail (FVT) and river for hiking, biking, kayaking and meeting other nature enthusiasts.
David is running for the BAA because he believes what takes place in local government really matters. Avon officeholders are the first-line representatives of every community member. We are charged with the responsibility of safeguarding the public trust. Having served for two years on the BAA where he previously lived, David learned that community members often find the assessment process confusing, and view the high cost of living to be especially burdensome for single parent families and those on fixed incomes. Unfortunately, community life in Avon in 2025 is strikingly similar.
While living in Avon, David serves as a poll worker, a member of the Avon Community Emergency Response Team, the Avon Lions Club, the Eastern Region Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services, the Capital Region Medical Reserve Corps and the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook Wild and Scenic Committee. He is a Trail Ambassador and member of the Farmington Valley Trail Council. David is also active in his church serving as a community group leader and a member of the Standing Search Committee.
