Dave Rollo, for a Sustainable Bloomington

In his run for a third term, city councilman Dave Rollo reaffirms his 9-year commitment to a Sustainable Bloomington. "In 2003, I pledged to promote the social, environmental and economic well being of our community. In the four years ahead, I will build on the city's record of success to continue improving quality of life for all Bloomington residents." In a renewed commitment to campaign finance reform, Rollo's campaign will once again cap contributions to $50 per person.

Government that promotes a diverse, local economy that enhances our environment while improving public infrastructure will be the focus of Dave's work as District IV representative.

"My aim for the next four years, in brief, is to work for a secure community with high quality of life."

Dave is a researcher in molecular/microbiology at Indiana University, and is co-owner of Stranger's Hill Organics Farm.

Born in Pontiac, Michigan, Dave is a 26-year resident of Bloomington, and has had family here for over 50 years. After completing a Bachelor of Science in Biology at Michigan State University, he moved to Bloomington to pursue and obtain a Master's degree in Plant Sciences. Since 1995, Dave has worked as a Research Associate in the IU Department of Biology, specializing in Microbial Development, Microbial Ecology and Evolution. He is 50 years old.

Dave was first elected to the Bloomington Common Council in 2003, and re-elected to a second term in 2007.
