"Ten years ago, Tom knocked on my door with a promise to return neighborhood schools to the city. Tom Ashe kept his word, saved the city million in transportation costs, and we kept our children in the Springfield Public Schools. - Annette Grasso
 

We must select our priorities, monitor our spending, measure our performance, and most of all, keep government accountable, accessible and transparent.


"Tom Ashe has been an effective leader on the School Committee. I've worked closely with Tom on issues like truancy and I know I can work with Tom on other public safety issues. Tom Ashe is just what the City Council needs." - Sheriff Michael J. Ashe Jr.
 

Crime is out of control and we are loosing the battle. It is a problem that calls for new solutions which are rooted in partnership between city departments, community organizations, neighborhoods, civic and religious groups.


"I live on a fixed income and I know that I have to limit my spending. Tom understands the financial restraints people are facing today and he knows how to balance a budged; he will control spending. I trust Tom Ashe."- Norman Saunders
 

Government must learn to live within its means and address the underlying imbalance between revenues and expenditures.
