A Texas native, Tom grew up in Crockett, and graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Civil Engineering.
Tom and his wife, Marsha, raised their three children in Spring Branch ISD, and have spent 30 of those years in Precinct 3. His family now includes seven grandchildren, all of whom still live in the West Houston area––five in Precinct 3.
Tom’s love for this county and its people also drives his work in the church, where he has taught adult Bible studies for more than 40 years. He currently teaches two classes at Second Baptist Houston, where he serves as a deacon, and is Treasurer on the board of Loving Kids, a local initiative launched to help under-served Houston children.
“It is an honor to serve as your Precinct 3 County Commissioner. I have lived, raised a family, and worked in Harris County for fifty plus years. Over the past three years, I have had the privilege to work on your behalf on Commissioners Court. To continue on this road of service, I am asking for your support as I seek a second term as your Precinct 3 Commissioner.
Whether I was on your ballot in the last election or I became your County Commissioner through redistricting, it has been my goal to serve each and every one of you. I fight for the issues you, my constituents, tell me are important which include safe neighborhoods, funding our law enforcement, mitigating flooding, and maintaining and improving our infrastructure. Using our tax dollars responsibly, with transparency and honest, is my pledge to Pct. 3.
Redistricting of the four commissioner precincts creates a Precinct 3 that makes us stronger. The challenges of a new geographic area provide great opportunities. I am proud to say that my staff and I are meeting the challenges of our precinct. We have welcomed the opportunity to become better acquainted, understand the needs of the precinct, and serve our many and varied communities.
Developing new parks, improving existing facilities and amenities, ensuring road maintenance and infrastructure improvements to prevent flooding, and working to make our neighborhoods safer are my top priorities. I want to make sure your tax dollars are spent wisely and that Precinct 3 receives the representation you deserve. That’s why during my first term I worked to help secure millions of dollars for flood mitigation and I continue to promote neighborhoods first at Commissioners Court.
It is truly an honor to serve as your Precinct 3 Commissioner. I am committed to Precinct 3 and its residents. I hope you will support me in my bid to continue working on your behalf.”
