Tom Thurman took office in 2005 and is in his second term as a County Supervisor.  He has been the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors twice and has become the voice of reason in Yavapai County Government. 

He is involved with two economic development groups and supports reasonable growth.  He has spearheaded the Yavapai County Health Department’s partnership with the National Association of Counties Organization to bring a prescription card program to the citizens of the County.  Economic Development, Water, Roads and Health are as important issues to him as they are to the people he serves and he has been active in participating in committees and community groups that truly do some good. 

He is noted to be a fair and reasonable man, looking at all sides of an issue and researching it fully to make the best possible decision for the citizens of his district as well as the County as a whole.  When asked why he ran for office his response was, “because of all the things I have ever volunteered for, this had the ability of doing more good for more folks.”  He will continue to work with all entities of Government and County Departments to bring the best possible solutions to the issues that affect the citizens of Yavapai County.
