Spartanburg City Council District 4

Several people have asked me why I would agree to run for public office.  My response is simple.  I consider it both a duty and privilege.  A duty to give back to the community that has given so much to my family and a privilege to serve our Country, State and City. 

Serving in the US Marine Corps during a time of war taught me discipline and teamwork which I have used to help me as a small business owner make decisions concerning hiring employees, monthly operating expenses and cash flow.  During these turbulent times of job losses, business failures and home foreclosures, our citizens demand a steady, experienced hand at the wheel. 

I am offering my experience to help guide our city through these turbulent times and the discipline to be a frugal steward concerning taxes and spending. 

I ask for your support by contributing to my campaign and your vote on November 3^rd for City Council. 

Respectfully,

Thomas A. Belenchia
