"After his military service, Tom became a pilot for TWA and moved his family to San Jose which is when he first involved himself in politics. The city of San Jose and Caltrans were planning on turning a part of the Guadalupe River into a concrete channel to make room for the Almaden Expressway crossing. Tom and his neighbors formed a neighborhood association—with Tom as president—fought the idea and won. Caltrans and the city shored up the sides of the river and even built a bike path underneath the expressway. Reflecting on the success, Tom told a reporter from San Jose Magazine that it was his first taste of politics and what it can do for the common good."
