AFC has deployed $310 million since 2010 through its Super PAC, 501c4, and 501c3. AFC has passed school choice laws in 30 states and at the federal level, freeing up more than $38 billion in cumulative funding for more than 4 million students to access the education of their choice.
Tommy has been featured on ABC News, Fox News, and CNN, and in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New York Post, and Washington Post. Before joining AFC, Tommy was a spokesman for presidential, gubernatorial, and congressional campaigns in New Hampshire, Iowa, and Tennessee. In between campaign cycles, Tommy had stints with leading public affairs firms in the D.C. area.
Tommy is Catholic, graduated from Stanford University, and lives in Dallas with his family. He was a three-time All-American trapshooter in high school.
