In Support of Schommer
NORFOLK — Please accept this endorsement of Tom Schommer as mayor of the City of Norfolk. I believe he has the character and ability to lead the city into these coming years of change.

I first met Tom through one of his children. I saw that he was a father who cared deeply for his children and knew how to maintain a relationship with them. Then I kept meeting him at different youth events and saw that he had a great relationship with youth. He knew how to relate to them and how to challenge them to achieve their dreams.

Later, I discovered that he was a successful and award-winning businessman who had a vested interest in the growth and vitality of Norfolk. Prior to this campaign, he has demonstrated energy and creativity in developing ideas for the growth of the city. Since he entered the race for mayor he has demonstrated courtesy and integrity in the entire process. This speaks very highly of his character.

I know that we can trust him to energetically pursue what is best for the citizens of Norfolk.
