Wholehearted Support For Tom Decosimo

  • Monday, July 6, 2020
I have known Tom Decosimo and his family for many years in many capacities, and he has consistently displayed the characteristics that will enable him to serve with distinction on the School Board to all the benefit of all residents. 

• He has been a successful businessman with great financial strength at a time when those capabilities are badly needed. 

• Although I know him as a friend, a fellow tennis player, the son of Joe Decosimo (one of my father’s dearest friends) and from other common interests, I have most often crossed paths with Tom as he served our County so often through philanthropic and community activities. 

• Tom has the personality and attitude to work with others to reach the best conclusions and to achieve successful results. 

• A candidate with all the necessary talent and capabilities needs one other critical element.
Their purpose must be to serve our community as their only goal and to the best of their ability. I have no doubt that Tom has the knowledge and experience to serve Hamilton County’s education system, and especially the children, with distinction, and he also is giving his time and resources to this effort solely for that goal.
