Thomas is a decent, honest, hardworking 49 year old man, who has lived in this district his whole life. He served and was discharged from the U.S. Army under honorable conditions. For the last 16 years he has been employed by Arley Wholesale as the Operations Manager of their Scranton, Pa. Division. He is running on a platform of change from the status quo. Politics has failed us. Previous politicians have failed us.
