Tom Wells for Climate JusticeVerified account

My name is Tom Wells and I am a husband, father, grandfather, & physicist running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida 3rd Congressional District, since 2016.

Before focusing on politics, I earned my Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Maryland and went on to serve as the lead engineer at a succession of small microwave technology companies.

I later started my own company in 2005 to develop solutions to long-standing Air Force requirements. I have been a champion for progressive politics ever since I watched in dismay as Ronald Reagan destroyed the Air Traffic Controllers Union.

I realized that the intersection of life and science - politics - is broken.

So I started my campaign for Congress in June 2016 and have since been engaged in face-to-face campaigning where I have explored the issues facing our country and have developed political strategies to address them.

I am running on a platform that includes addressing the flaws of our healthcare system with Medicare for All, protecting our environment with a Green New Deal to combat Climate Change, and protecting our democracy through election reform.

I also fully support fighting against racial injustices, making sure everyone has their civil rights protected, and reforming our housing and educational systems.
