David Greenwald

David M. Greenwald is married to Cecilia Escamilla-Greenwald, whom he met on a political campaign, Mark DeSio's State Senate campaign in 1998. David Greenwald came here as a graduate student in Political Science at University of California, Davis. He got his Master's in Political Science in 2007. He grew up in San Luis Obispo, Ca. In 1994, he ran for the school board in San Luis Obispo, narrowly losing in a five person race. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science and history in 1996. In 1996-97, he worked for People for the American Way in Washington, D.C. He also worked on Congresswoman Lois Capps' field operation for her special election in 1997-98 after her husband first term Congressman Walter Capps passed away in November of 1997.

He was out of politics from 1998 until 2006, when his wife, Cecilia, came under fire for her role in pushing for civilian police review in Davis as Chair of the Human Relations Commission. He claims to have no personal political aspirations. Cecilia Escamilla-Greenwald ran for City Council in 2008.

David founded and maintains the political blog, The People's Vanguard of Davis, in August of 2006 posting under the pseudonym, Doug Paul Davis. The Vanguard has become an alternative to the mainstream news in Davis. In March of 2008, he began the "Davis Vanguard" radio show on KDRT 95.7 FM. Archives of the show can be heard here. In October, David quietly dropped the pseudonym and began publishing under his full name. In December, he hosted a Virtual Townhall Meeting with DJUSD.

In December 2008, David Greenwald was hired as the Editor of the California Progress Report—a liberal blog that covers California politics.

Contrary to a Davis Enterprise article in 2006, he is not married to former Mayor Sue Greenwald. Nor is he related to his namesake on the City Council.
