Donald J. Glacy for Roanoke City Council – Ward 1
A Proven Leader for Roanoke
Residents want smart, responsible growth that protects the character of our city. They want safe neighborhoods, well-maintained roads and infrastructure, and a city government that exercises fiscal responsibility with your tax dollars. And above all, they want leadership that listens, communicates, and represents the people — not special interests.
As a local business owner and current member of the Planning & Zoning Commission, I’ve seen firsthand both the opportunities and the challenges facing Roanoke. Growth is coming — the question is whether we will manage it intentionally or let it manage us.
I’m running for City Council because I believe we can do better — and we can do it together.
- Protect what makes Roanoke special while planning wisely for the future
- Support our local businesses and strengthen our economic foundation
- Improve infrastructure and traffic flow as our city grows
- Prioritize public safety so families feel secure
- Be a voice for Ward 1 residents — grounded in listening and transparency
This campaign isn’t about politics — it’s about people.
It’s about making sure your voice is heard, your concerns are addressed, and your vision for Roanoke is represented at City Hall.
I’d be honored to earn your support.

What I Stand For
Listening to Ward 1 Residents
City Council members are elected to represent the people in their ward. I am committed to listening to the concerns, ideas, and needs of Ward 1 residents and ensuring their voices are represented in the decisions that shape our city. Good leadership begins with listening.
Share with me your thoughts here.
Smart, Responsible Growth
Roanoke is growing, and that growth must be handled with wisdom. I support development that strengthens our tax base, improves quality of life, and respects the identity of our city. We need to preserve our small town feel, our family-oriented environment, safety, and support our local businesses.
❌ We need to protect Roanoke against :
- Overdevelopment
- Traffic congestion
- Losing identity of the town
- Rising costs (taxes / housing)
Support for Local Business
As a business owner who has built and grown companies, I understand what it takes for businesses to succeed. Roanoke’s local businesses are vital to our economy and to the culture of our city. I want to help create an environment where they can thrive.
Strong Community Values
I believe city government should be practical, transparent, and responsive. Residents deserve leaders who will listen, communicate clearly, and make decisions with integrity.
Protecting Roanoke’s Future
Roanoke’s future should be shaped intentionally, not reactively. That means thoughtful planning, careful infrastructure decisions, and leadership that balances opportunity with stewardship.

Why I’m Running
I’m not running for a title. I’m running to serve. I'm running to represent you!
My experience in business, county, and Roanoke City Government has taught me how to solve problems, lead organizations, and think strategically about long-term growth. My service on Planning & Zoning has given me direct insight into the development issues, opportunities, and decisions facing our city. And as a husband and father, I care deeply about the kind of community we are building for the next generation.
I want to bring that experience to City Council to help Roanoke remain strong, vibrant, and well-led.
