Donald J. Glacy for Roanoke City Council – Ward 1
A Proven Leader for Roanoke
Roanoke is more than where I live. It is home.
For the past 15 years, my family and I have invested our lives here. We have raised our children here, built relationships here, and served this community here. As a business owner, family man, and current Vice Chairman of Planning & Zoning, I have had the privilege of helping shape Roanoke’s growth while protecting the character that makes our city special.
I’m running for City Council because I believe Roanoke needs thoughtful, steady leadership that understands both community values and smart growth. Our city deserves leaders who will listen well, plan carefully, support local businesses, and keep Roanoke a place families are proud to call home.

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.
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.
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.
My experience in business 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.
