Exactly What Norfolk Needs
NORFOLK — We have known Tom Schommer personally and professionally for 20 years. We believe the enthusiasm and zest he can bring to the mayor’s office is exactly what Norfolk needs at this time.

Tom embodies the phrase “do what is right, not what is easy.” He has the unique ability to build a consensus. Even more importantly, as a businessman and community leader, he has recognized that Norfolk needs to grow. When Tom promises to do all he can do to make Norfolk the most “business friendly” community in Nebraska, he sincerely means it.

We have witnessed his unique “empowering others” style of leadership over the years and genuinely believe it will provide new opportunities for city staff as well as for the citizens of Norfolk.

Tom’s work ethic on behalf of the city will be tireless.

On Nov. 4, we will cast our votes for Tom Schommer for mayor of Norfolk, for all of the right reasons. Consider joining us in our support of him and let’s move Norfolk into the future.
