Town
Center
Tom has been a leader
in the revitalization of Historic Downtown Upland. His hard
work has resulted in our beautiful new streetlights, restoration
of the Carnegie Library, Citrus Heritage, and Upland Pride Murals.
Tom’s work to replace the tired pavement and make Historic
Downtown Upland a pedestrian friendly place for our families
is a continuing project on his list for Upland’s future.
Tom envisions Historic Downtown Upland as a community gathering
place with sidewalk dining, boutiques, and entertainment opportunities
for everyone. Tom supports the CIM Group in their plans to invest
substantial funds for innovative projects in Historic Downtown
Upland.

Animal
Shelter:
Tom & Ann Thomas
raised their three daughters, Katie, Elizabeth, and Maggie in
Upland. Now that their daughters are grown, Tom & Ann are
raising two dogs (Bogie & Lanna) that they adopted from
the Annual Upland Pet Adoption Fair. As a long time animal lover,
Tom supports replacing the old animal shelter with a new facility
that will better meet the needs of our community.

Colonies
Crossroads:
Looking towards the
final phases of construction this commercial and residential
project has proven to be a great addition to the City of Upland.
The available and planned amenities have increased the already
outstanding quality of life we enjoy on our community.

Planning
and Development:
Good planning is
the clear path to meet the challenges of the future. Through
Tom’s leadership the city has undertaken an intense street
improvement program. Upland will spend $43,275,000 in the next
four years resurfacing streets and improving traffic flow. As
we celebrate Upland’s Centennial we must maintain aggressive
tree trimming and sidewalk maintenance programs. A strong balanced
budget is the key to implementing traffic and pedestrian improvements
in our community.

Public
Safety:
The Public Safety
of our citizens has been and will continue to be a top priority
for me. I am very pleased to announce that I have been endorsed
by both the Upland Police Officers Association and the Upland
Fire Fighters Association.
“Tom Thomas has been a strong and stable leader for the
Upland Fire Department. We will be assisting Tom’s reelection
campaign because he understands the importance of public safety’s
role in our city.”
—John Fowler, President, Upland Firefighters Assn.
“The Upland Police Officer Association is strongly supporting
Tom Thomas’ reelection. He has been a leader in providing
funding for the Upland Impact Team that has resulted in an 18%
reduction in crime.”
—Marcello A. Blanco, President Upland Police Officers
Assn.
