Tommy Harrison filed Tuesday for candidacy for Place 4 on the May 7, 2022 Sulphur Springs City Council Election ballot.
Harrison said he is seeking the Place 4 seat on the council so he “can bring a breath of fresh air to the City of Sulphur Springs.”
The candidate said he is a retired Department of Defense Army civilian, and includes among the training, special skills and experience he has attained serving as Director of Logististics for Large Military Installations, both United States and Germany. He also has a Bachelor of Science.
When asked what he feels are the top areas of concern, need or challenges in the office, Harrison listed infrastructure and community awareness.
Harrison feels the most important things for the public to know about him and his candidacy are: that he is home grown, and will serve with honesty, integrity and selflessness, with a keen sense of direction and focus for the City of Sulphur Springs.
Tommy Harrison is married to Anja Harrison.
He has been serving as a member of the City of Sulphur Springs Planning and Zoning Commission.
