Elect Bob Thomas District 15 Senate


Last election, I did not believe there was a Senate candidate for District 15 who could adequately represent my views. Rather than continue to talk about a lack of choice, I’ve decided to enter the race and offer voters in the 15th District common sense representation.

Just as each family should be responsible in their finances, I am passionate about government acting and spending our resources responsibly. Education is critical to our changing world, and I believe public education should provide incentives to attract the best and brightest teachers and administrators. Likewise, parents need to have the ultimate choice in where and how their children are educated. Business and our economy are a major corner stone to the freedoms we enjoy, and we must encourage our business leaders to grow and innovate. We need to protect and use our natural resources wisely. I strongly support defending the most vulnerable among us and value the sanctity of human life.

Over the last eight years, my wife Cindy and I have come to love Phoenix and Arizona. We relocated from Mississippi so Cindy could continue her career as a Certified Diabetes Educator and Registered Dietitian.

I was fortunate to have purchased and operated a family furniture store, as well as, businesses in advertising, insurance and heavy equipment distribution. Following the sale of those businesses I became involved in farming and cattle ranching until our move to Phoenix in 2000. Currently I sell and distribute equipment and supplies for the automotive finishing industry.

I value the education and experiences I gained while serving with the 134th Surgical Hospital MASH unit during the Vietnam era.

In Mississippi we helped found a Child Crisis Center, a Group Home for Girls and a Home for the Aging. I currently serve on the Wildlife Conservation Committee with the Arizona Game and Fish department. Living in the Historic Willow’s district, Cindy and I are active with neighborhood activities.

I strongly support the citizen representative form of government we are blessed with and I would appreciate your vote.
