Tom Helwig-Running for Republican Committeeman in West Vincent Township



I moved to West Vincent Township from Chandler, AZ in 2002. Getting here has been a long journey. I have lived and worked in 20 different States and have a conservative Republican background. My involvement in the Republican Party dates back to the early 1970’s when I rang doorbells in the 1972 Presidential campaign.

I've worked as a instructor and writer for several aerospace firms including Boeing over the last 25 years. Additionally, I have also served as an FAA examiner.

At 19 years old, I joined the Marine Corps and proudly served my country for 6 years. I participated in the rescue attempt of our American citizens held hostage in Iran in 1979. I have been willing to risk my life for our way of life.

I frequently write letters to various political figures and publications when I have something to say, and I often do. I have visited several of the State and Federal legislators over the years to let them know how I feel on a host of different issues. In other words, I am a concerned citizen.

Running for Committeeman is a commitment I want to make.
I have served our country before and feel that it is time for me to serve again by taking on this position. I know there are people out there that don’t believe their voice is being heard. I know this because I've had the conversations with some of them. I'm not afraid to tell the powers in the Party how I feel and I WILL carry your message to the Republican Party.


Let me ask you:
Do you feel the Committeeman for your district does the same as I propose?

What is your current Committeeman’s name?

How would you contact him?



You will never feel unrepresented to the Republican Party with Tom Helwig. When it comes time for the endorsement of Republican candidates, you can be sure that I will consider every conversation I have and match them to qualifications and beliefs of the candidates. If you want a real voice in the Republican Party, the choice will be Tom Helwig for West Vincent Committeeman. Thank you for your support and please come out not only for me, but for YOU on May 18th, Election Day.



Contact me with any questions you may have. I am readily available at:Votehelwig@gmail.com
