We need volunteers to help us plan, organize, and grow. This means occasional meetings or, at very least, helping us with community involvement and helping us place yard signs and other marketing material.

Share The Movement With Your Friends

We’re always looking for like-minded people to help with this campaign. If you have friends or family that love St. Cloud and would be willing to give an afternoon of their time or a small donation, it would mean the world to me.

Every Donation Helps

Every donation helps me grow the campaign and fight to fix all the issues with St. Cloud. There’s some big problems in this city that I plan to address while on City Council, but to get there, I need everyone’s support. Whether you donate a few dollars or you’re a corporate sponsor donating much more, thank you.

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!
