Tom Duerr

Past:Member of County Council—District 5

Elected Office: Member of County Council—District 5

    Tom Duerr grew up in Bethel Park as part of the generation of people who are moving out of Southwestern Pennsylvania because the quality of life and opportunities afforded to past generations aren’t what they used to be.

    While his sister and many of his peers left, Tom came home after attending Pennsylvania State University with the intent to work on shaping his community into one that retains and attracts people.

    Since coming back to the region, he has led voter outreach efforts during electoral wins in the last three election cycles. During that time, Tom spoke to thousands of voters spread across Southwestern PA while working with the Clinton, Lamb, and Iovino campaigns. Talking with these constituents and working with these candidates, Tom gained tremendous insight into not just how to be an effective candidate and elected official, but also a better understanding of the issues facing the people in the region. Property taxes are too high, employment opportunities are fleeting, infrastructure is crumbling, and landslides are commonplace because the climate is changing.

    Tom’s work spans four counties, urban communities, rural communities, senior citizens, young adults, upper class, and working class. Tom has a better understanding of the issues that the people of Southwestern PA face today than any other candidate.

    Tom is running for County Council because it’s his opportunity to make a positive impact on the community that made him the person he is today.

    Loyal, hardworking, and passionate, Tom Duerr is the type of person Allegheny County Council needs to advocate and fight for the people of Bridgeville, Bethel Park, Mt. Lebanon, & Upper St. Clair.
