“David has a true gift for working collaboratively, bringing people together, and getting things done. His extensive public service experience, sound judgment, and legal background make him exceptionally well-equipped to serve our community.
Hilton Head Island will benefit from his thoughtful leadership, integrity, and commitment to finding practical solutions. Please join me in voting for David Ellis for Town Council.”
Cary Corbitt
“Dave Ellis offers over 15 years’ experience serving our Sea Pines community. He served as President of the Sea Pines CC at a time when we needed a leader to listen to the membership and understand how to get needed approvals for club amenity improvements. Dave and I served together on the CSA community board and executive committee together when Dave was the Chairman.
He served over six years leading our community to gain consensus and approvals for infrastructure improvements that have been long overdue. Dave is a leader, a consensus builder, and a friend. He has the experience and desire to represent the interests of Ward 5 on the Hilton Head Island Town Council.”
Mike Basham
“As a member of the CSA Finance Committee, I had the opportunity to discuss CSA financial issues with David on a number of occasions. I was impressed with the depth and breadth of his knowledge of the various issues that impacted Sea Pines. Most importantly, he maintained a necessary focus on the importance of the Town’s operations and its potential influence on Sea Pines. I would be hard pressed to find anyone with David’s deep experience in all local issues to represent District 5.”
Thomas Lennox
“As a former member of Town Council I am familiar with the skills necessary to be an effective member of Town Council and Dave Ellis checks all the boxes. Beyond that, Dave is a proven leader in our community and, above all, he’s got a habit of being a good listener.”
John McCann
“I am pleased to endorse David Ellis for Hilton Head Island Town Council, Ward 5.
David brings the qualities we need in a Town Council member: sound judgment, integrity, a willingness to listen, and a commitment to the long-term interests of our community.
Hilton Head Island faces important decisions about growth, development, infrastructure, taxes, and the preservation of our island’s character. I believe David will approach these issues thoughtfully and responsibly while keeping residents’ interests at the forefront.
I encourage the voters of Ward 5 to support David Ellis in the upcoming election. I believe he would be a strong and responsible representative for the ward and for Hilton Head Island.”
William Johnson
“I am pleased to offer my strong endorsement of David Ellis for Town Council of the Town of Hilton Head Island.
I have had the privilege of serving with David on several boards, and through that experience I have come to know him as a thoughtful, dedicated, and highly capable leader. David listens carefully, asks the right questions, and approaches difficult issues with sound judgment and respect for differing opinions.
What I have particularly appreciated about David is his commitment to the community.
He is not someone who seeks a position for recognition; he is willing to put in the time and effort necessary to understand the issues and make decisions that are in the best long-term interests of the people he serves.
David also understands that effective leadership requires collaboration. He works well with others, treats people with respect, and brings a calm and constructive approach to the boardroom. I have seen firsthand his willingness to tackle challenging issues and his determination to find practical solutions.
Hilton Head Island is a special community, and I believe its future will depend on having thoughtful, experienced people willing to serve and put the community first. David Ellis is exactly that kind of leader.
I strongly encourage you to support David Ellis for Town Council. I am confident that he will bring integrity, experience, sound judgment, and a genuine commitment to the Town of Hilton Head Island to his service on Council.”
