Who is Tom Witts?

Snellville businessman announces candidacy for Snellville City Council post.

SNELLVILLE – Tom Witts, a Snellville business owner and Springdale Trace resident for the past seventeen years, announces his candidacy for Post three of the Snellville City Council, the seat currently held by Robert Jenkins.

Tom is a decorated combat veteran having served two tours of duty in Vietnam which included assignments on Navy Swift Boats. After completing his military service, he attended college under the GI bill, and then embarked on his business career.

Prior to opening his current company, Georgia Property Restoration, Tom established and operated WFS Mortgage Funding, a mortgage banking firm with offices in Atlanta and Tampa, Florida.

Tom and Carol, his wife of twenty years, have four adult children and one granddaughter. They are active members of St. Oliver’s Church in Snellville where he has served as President of both the church’s Men’s Club and Parish Council. He is also a former Junior Vice-Commander of VFW Post 4180 in Snellville.

Tom believes that owning his own businesses has given him the opportunity not only to experience a wide variety of economic situations but to learn how to quickly adapt to those changing economic conditions. From the high interest rates of the late 1970’s to the economic revival of the 1980’s to our current financial climate, each era brought its own set of business challenges with constantly changing parameters. Having to adapt to these different situations has been a matter of survival.

Tom learned to think on his feet and to make decisions knowing that the results of those decisions would have an immediate impact not only on himself and his family, but his company, and its employees. Errors in judgment can be financially crippling and have far reaching effects.

Tom believes that in our current economic environment your elected officials should be astute at reading and analyzing financial information. They must know the difference between an income statement, balance sheet, and a cash flow analysis and know how each one relates to the other.

Tom believes that it is not politics that make a city prosper.

“Politicians can paralyze progress. Politics can be a cataract on the vision of growth and improvement.”

“We have some very talented people on Council and on staff with the city; I would like to add my business experience to that team. It is time to empower the team of leaders to do the will of the citizens and make Snellville the place where everybody is PROUD to be somebody.”

Tom believes “Snellville is our City and its future is in our hands. The decisions we make in November will decide whether Snellville adapts and thrives in the 21st century or whether it becomes a series of red lights between Lilburn and Loganville.”
