About David Cannata Jr

Raised in beautiful North Attleboro, David spent his childhood working alongside his father in the construction industry, where he learned what it means to work hard and be accountable for your actions. After years in construction, David moved on to Property and Facilities Management for 7 years. The last 5+ years he's been teaching Safety throughout New England on topics such as Lead Safe Renovation, First Aid/CPR, OSHA regulations and the Continuing Ed required by Construction Supervisors in MA. David continues to give back to his community by teaching and as a Life Insurance agent, Security System designer and salesman all while operating a small web development business in his free time. This demonstrates David's ability to balance priorities, something the Town of North Attleboro Town Council definitely needs.

History with North

A North Attleboro native, David graduated from North Attleboro High School. He understands the towns and the surrounding areas having grown and lived here nearly his entire life. While he spent a few sporadic years in other parts of the state like Ayer, Waltham and Marlboro, North Attleboro has always remained home. David's ultimate goal is to maintain North Attleboro as the wonderful and desirable place he remembers from his childhood, so that he can not only raise his daughter, Georgiana, in the same environment and also to attract new residents and businesses so that North Attleboro can continue to thrive.

The New High School

David understands the desire and even the need for North Attleboro to build a new school. However, all things come with a cost. The current proposal for a new High School does not seem like a good fit for North right now, with so many unknowns it is hard to say yes without all the information. Additionally, the information we do have does not indicate that it is a good decision for the Town. The good news is that this is not a decision that David will make alone! The Town will vote on this in June, and David is committed to ensuring that the people of North Attleboro have ALL the information they need to make an informed decision. What we really need from the Town Council is transparency and accountability. Let the people of North Attleboro make an informed decision. And begin to offer us good options!! There will be an outline of David's complete feelings on the High School project in a different section, so that YOU have the information you need to base your vote on.

Lower Taxes for North Attleboro Families

By prioritizing the needs of the Town appropriately, we can definitely reduce the tax burden on our residents. When we elect fiscal conservatives that know how to determine what's really important and what is not, we can restrict, limit, or stop altogether any wasteful spending to keep more money in the hands of the people who earned it. We should be applying for, and receiving, funding from the State or Federal government for programs we qualify for to help offset our direct burdens. The tax dollars we already spend are out there, we just need to access it.
