Tom Edwards

This isn’t the retirement Tom Edwards had in mind when he moved to Sarasota. He came here to give back to the community. 

Instead, he’s been a called a groomer, a pedophile, and vilified by the governor of Florida. 

All for being a school board member who happens to be gay.

Tom Edwards is our guest this week. We talk about his true mission as a Sarasota County School Board member and if these attacks have influenced his desire to run again. Hear from him why he walked out of a school board meeting in March. And find out how he manages the stresses of his job and his hopes for the future of public education.
