A former colonel in the U.S. Army, John Norwood has announced his candidacy for the Farmers Branch City Council, District 3. John has led military operations all over the world and worked as an industry executive for major defense companies.
After living in Washington D.C. for 12 years, John and his family moved to Farmers Branch in August 2013. They quickly became involved in the community, making connections at church, with neighbors, and among city leaders.
“Right away, we could see that Farmers Branch has a lot going for it – a great location, beautiful parks, a strong sense of community and revitalization in key areas, ” says John, a second-generation career military officer with roots in Texas.
“I want to keep the momentum going, while also working to build consensus within the community. Our location, facilities, services and diversity are key strengths. Farmers Branch can be a destination within Dallas as we accentuate the things that make our community a great place to live, work and play. ”
As a military engineer, John has substantial experience in new family housing, construction and development.
