David Brown

DAVID BROWN, HOST/PRODUCER is a Philadelphia area Progressive Democratic activist, campaign manager, consultant, field director, finance director, speechwriter, and former PA State Democratic Committee person, David is one of the most trusted political operatives in the nation’s electoral bellwether: Philadelphia’s Collar Counties. As Chair and co-founder of Pennsylvania Secular Democrats, he is a leading voice in the statewide movement for the separation of church and state. In the 2022 Midterm Election, David’s Neighbors for Democracy project – a grassroots, civic-engagement subsidiary of his PAC – facilitated higher voter turnout in his own PA House District 166 than any other district in Delaware County. Consequently, David has declared his candidacy for State Representative in 2024, challenging 30-year incumbent Greg Vitali, to bring new energy, work ethic, and Secular Humanist values to the State House.
