Ward I Alderman David W. Honey has always had an interest in city government.  In February of 2010, he decided it was time to get involved with the community  and city activities. After witnessing the economic downfall, David decided it was time  to become a voice. David has had great accomplishments in his time as a Hollister resident. He has taken classes with San Diego State University through  an extended studies program and received many certificates in Construction Management.  He is also OSHA certified for Industrial Safety. During the time he was with a construction  management team, he helped develop a multi-complex that contains condominiums,  club house, sewers, roads, and pools. David is currently working for a commercial  chemical company that deals with ware washing and commercial laundries.  He was elected as a Ward I Alderman in April 2010.
