Thomas Advey for Fairport Harbor Village Council

Thomas Advey
This race is Advey’s first run for elected office.
If elected, he said he would like to get the villages finances under control through closely monitoring them.
In addition he said he will pay closer attention to the voices of residents and partner with businesses and use more elaborate means of advertising to market the community’s assets. And finally, Advey said he wants to inform more people of what events are going on around Fairport Harbor.
“I have been fortunate enough to be part of this community since June 2006 when I was sworn in as a firefighter here in town,” he said. “Throughout the last seven years I have grown quite fond of the community and have established a great rapport with the citizens and business owners.”
