David Borger

David Lawrence Borger (born 7 September 1969) is an Australian former politician. He represented the seat of Granville for the Labor Party in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 2007 until 2011. Borger was Minister for Roads, Housing and Minister for Western Sydney in the Rees and Keneally Labor Governments. Borger was appointed the inaugural Western Sydney Director of the Sydney Business Chamber in September 2012. The position has since evolved to become Executive Director of Business Western Sydney and, as of 2024, Borger continues to hold the role.

Early years
Borger was an elected member of the Parramatta City Council, representing the Elizabeth Macarthur Ward, from 1995 to 2008. At 30 years of age, Borger became the youngest person to hold the office of Lord Mayor of Parramatta. Borger served as Lord Mayor for two terms (1999–2000 and 2005-2007).

During his first term as Lord Mayor, he instigated a fundraising campaign to help community groups that provide services to homeless people in Parramatta. That campaign has already netted $25,000 for the Parramatta Mission's Winter Appeal. He has worked closely with groups such as Shelter NSW, the Wesley Mission and the Exodus Foundation in securing more resources for the homeless during and beyond the 2000 Olympic Games.

State politics
Following the retirement of Kim Yeadon, Borger won endorsement and then election for the seat of Granville at the 2007 State election. Borger lost his seat at the 2011 State election to his Liberal opponent Tony Issa.
