Good local government starts by listening to the people who live with its decisions.
A former financial planner, business owner, and realtor who sees every day how city hall affects families and local businesses.
The story behind the candidate
Good local government starts by listening to the people who live with its decisions.
Tom Said believes fixing city hall starts with listening to the people who deal with it every day. He is a former financial planner and business owner who now works as a realtor, helping families buy homes and working with local businesses and developers.
That work has shown Tom how a permit delay can cost a family time, a small business money, or a project its momentum. He brings a practical understanding of where city systems work and where they need to become easier to navigate.
Tom is running to support careful spending, clearer permitting, local businesses, and everyday services that respect residents’ time, money, and plans.
