Candidate Profile—David Cannata for Town Council

Please list any experience on other boards, committees or organizations.    

  • Adjutant of the Sons of the American Legion Post 440
  • Secretary for the North Attleboro Republican Town Committee
  • Bristol & Norfolk Republican State Committee Man
  • Member of the North Attleboro Elks 1011

Why are you running for this position?  

North Attleborough needs strong leadership to return to prosperity. My experience in property and facilities management, safety training, and business ownership has given me the ability to analyze challenges, implement effective solutions, and lead with accountability. I am committed to ensuring our town remains a great place to live, work and raise a family. By prioritizing fiscal responsibility and practical governance, I will work to strengthen our community and protect the values that make North Attleborough exceptional.

If elected, what issues would you like to focus on?  

The town should be run like a business, which means accountability and transparency are essential for success. I will advocate for responsible spending, tax relief for working families and policies that promote economic growth. North Attleborough must remain a place where businesses thrive and residents can afford to stay. Additionally, I will work to ensure town services, infrastructure and public safety remain strong while maintaining financial discipline. Government must work for the people, not the other way around.

What sets you apart from other candidates?    

I bring a results-driven approach to problem-solving. My experience in business management, safety training and construction has given me the ability to analyze issues and implement effective solutions. I understand how regulations, taxes and inefficiencies impact families and businesses. My leadership experience, whether managing teams, budgets, or critical projects, ensures I can prioritize what’s best for North Attleborough. I am a hands-on leader committed to real solutions, not empty promises.

What are some areas that the town has improved upon and what, in your opinion, remains to be done? 

North Attleborough’s proactive approach to addressing PFAS contamination in our water supply has been commendable, showing that real progress can be made when issues are tackled head-on. However, we must continue improving infrastructure, business development and affordability. Many families struggle with high costs, and we need policies that encourage both longtime residents to stay and new families to move in. Keeping North Attleborough competitive and financially sustainable requires a commitment to responsible governance and economic opportunity.

Being part of a board requires one to be a team player. Does your background lend you to working well in this environment? 

Absolutely. Throughout my career, I have successfully built and managed teams across multiple industries, ensuring projects were completed efficiently and effectively. Leadership isn’t just about setting a vision, it’s about working alongside others to achieve common goals. My hands-on leadership style fosters collaboration while maintaining accountability. I understand how to bring people together, find common ground, and deliver results. Working as part of a board requires balancing diverse perspectives, and I am confident in my ability to lead while working as a team player.
