Falmouth, Va. –– Crowds gathered at Amy’s Café in Falmouth on Thursday night to hear Bob Thomas‘ platform.
Thomas threw his hat into the ring to vie for Stafford County’s George Washington District seat being vacated by Democrat Harry Crisp who plans to retire at the end of his term in December.
Current district supervisors were in attendance to show their support of the first time candidate and Marine Corps Veteran.
The Stafford resident partnered with another fellow Marine and established Capriccio Software in 2006.
As a business owner he supports the business friendly atmosphere in the county, improved transportation and education, and the cultural resources of the area.
In his campaign announcement speech, Thomas credited a video of a public meeting on the county’s now defunct Business and Professional Licensing tax, and the support of Falmouth Supervisor Susan Stimpson as the impetus for his foray into politics.
