What I Stand For

St. Cloud is home to me and my family so I aim to lead programs that will make lasting, impactful changes in our community.

Get Onboard with Tom Lord!

For years, St. Cloud and the surrounding cities have been plagued with overpopulation, water issues, rapid development, and more.

During my time in city council, I plan to do my part to end these challenges by leading efforts to fix our water treatment processes, address the rapid growth and overpopulation issues, and overall, make St. Cloud a place future generations can be proud of.

What I Plan To Fix

St. Cloud is a beautiful place, but there are some major issues that need our immediate attention if it's going to continue being a great place to live.

Clean Water

There is no excuse. We must have clean, drinkable water. We must get off the MIEX resin system, especially after the failure at Plant 4.

Infrastructure

The past 2 years have shown that we must find a way to fix problems that arise before they turn into serious disasters.

Limit Growth

The BOCC and St. Cloud City Council have let the tract developers go “buck wild” throughout St. Cloud and surrounding areas in Unincorporated Osceola (St. Cloud).

See All Issues

City Code

I have seen too many times watching our Council many residents and small local businesses going before the Council to complain about Code Enforcement or about harassment by Code Enforcement.

Strengthen Emergency Services

They are there for us when we need them, we need to continue to be there for them. We are lucky to have such amazing Police Officers, Fire Fighters, and Emergency Personnel.

My Sponsors

I'd like to thank all my sponsors and donors for making this possible. Want to see your company logo featured below and help me save St. Cloud? Every sponsor helps me get closer to my goal, and I need your support if we're going to make all the changes I plan to fight for.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are some common questions people have regarding my campaign. If yours isn't answered here, please contact me.
Why Me?
Well, I have been watching our City Council closely for the last couple of years. I was covering them for the Osceola News Gazette and CFL Political Voice. I have seen the mistakes they have made and the good that they have done.

I have spent the majority of my life managing businesses and believe that between that, my knowledge of the Council, my love for the City I was raised in, and my dedication to working for the citizens, I am the only one that can truly become the next “People’s Councilman”.

Goals For St. Cloud

  1. Finally getting our citizens the clean water they pay for and deserve. It will take getting us off the MIEX resin system, and possibly, section by section, replacing pipes. At this point, it’s “Whatever it takes”.
  2. Fixing Old Canoe Creek Road and Hickory Tree Road to alleviate traffic issues that exist or will come due to “Out of Control” growth.
    This will take putting pressure on the BOCC as these are County roads and they are the ones approving all the development. I will put that pressure on them and make them own up to what they’ve done.
  3. Strengthening our City Workers, Police, Fire, and Emergency Services. Our City Workers and Emergency Services need to be ready and staffed to take on the population explosion that has happened here and the challenges that brings. Two of my cousins are City Workers and one is a St. Cloud Police Officer. I have heard the stories over many holidays and other family gatherings about how things are for them. I will ensure they have what they need and are treated with the respect and honor they deserve.
  4. Work to limit large tract development and diversify development in St. Cloud.
    A lot of folks believe I am “anti-development”. That is not entirely true. I am though tired of seeing large tract developers coming in and building cheaply built, cookie cutter homes. I want to see diversity in our housing. I want to see industrial jobs brought to St. Cloud. I want to see more custom homes and larger lots. A lot of what hinders this change is the Joint Planning Agreement between Osceola County and the City of St. Cloud.
    This agreement needs to be amended to work towards the betterment of the City, not it’s detriment.

How Can I Help?
The best way to help is to tell your family, friends, and neighbors to vote for Tom Lord! But there are also many other things you can do to help! Donate! I will not get any funding from any of the large developers and don’t want it. I am counting on average citizens and a grass roots effort to get funding and win this campaign.
There are also other things like sign waving, door to door knocking, etc.
Email me at : [email protected] and drop me a line that you’re interested to help. I will let you know what you can do to help this campaign succeed!
