We have asked candidates running for various offices to answer questions for our Voter Guide. While full responses are available here, we are offering you an excerpt in “Candidate Comparisons” ahead of the May 1, 2021 general election.
Each response below came directly from the candidate’s questionnaire and is unedited.
FROM LEFT: Eddy Sauer (Shemen Dental), Tom Scherlen (Campaign)
Amarillo City Council, Place 3
Tom Scherlen
Age: 68 | Occupation: Retired CEO of Austin Hose
Why are you the best candidate for voters to support for this position in 2020?
I am a retired businessman and have the time to devote to the job. I believe this is a full-time job and the people deserve a full-time Council member. I have new ideas with a new approach. I have years of running a large successful company and bringing money back to Amarillo. If it makes sense do It!
Eddy Sauer (Incumbent)
