- Amend City Charter to Provide for Election of Council Members from Districts
-
In order to return power to the voters of Santa Clara, Tom proposes that we amend the City Charter to provide for election of Council Members from districts.
- Promote Openness and Ethics in Government Service.
-
Ordinary citizens have been left out of a political system that is locked into the "good ole boy" network of the past, rather than the open and inclusive strategy proposed by Tom.
- Balancing the Requirements of a Built Out City - Affordable Housing
-
A fifth Generation Santa Claran and Father of five Children, Tom has a unique Link to the Past tempered by an optimistic and creative Vision for the Future.
