About
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Thomas Hamilton, and I'm running for the Mayor of Moncks Corner.
I'm 58 years old, and married to my wonderful wife, Carolyn. Between us, we have three children and two amazing grandchildren. My early years included service in the US Navy after high school, which allowed me to see the world. For the past 34 years, I've remained dedicated to the same job, with no intentions of retiring. Being a member of the American Legion Post 126, I previously served as Commander. The impact of losing an uncle in Vietnam has solidified my immense pride and support for our servicemen and women and their families. In support of our veterans, I'm a proponent of the National Veterans Cemetery proposed for Moncks Corner, offering free burial services for veterans, their spouses, and children. I'm also keen on preserving the Biggins Biking/Hiking trail while acknowledging the sale of some land for a National Business. Recognizing that the town's citizens have been overlooked, I aim to change that. I'm passionate about revitalizing Lacey Park and ensuring that our community thrives with amenities to keep locals engaged. I endorse various initiatives, including the addition of benches and sun shades to the rec. field playground, setting up baseball fields for public use, and more. Supporting smart growth, I intend to address key issues such as a 3rd Fire/Police Station between Moncks Corner and Foxbank, responding to first responders' pay concerns, and securing grants for vital projects. A cornerstone of my candidacy is the Nominate Your Neighbor' program, where all of my mayor's salary will be used to give back to the community. My dedication to you, the residents of Moncks Corner, is unwavering. As I'm not a city or county employee, there's no conflict of interest if I'm elected. I'll also be reachable through my city phone number, and that number will be freely available. Together, we can enhance Moncks Corner's charm, address pressing concerns, and pursue meaningful projects that benefit everyone. Thank you for considering my commitment to being the Mayor you can rely on! Warm regards, Thomas Hamilton |
