"...THOMAS CROWDER... is the clear choice in this Southwest Raleigh district. Crowder is the neighborhoods' champion and the driving force behind the council's pro-sustainability moves. Before anyone else was talking urban form, Crowder was. ...He was the most effective force in reshaping and improving the new comprehensive plan."

"The easiest choice of all is in District D. Thomas Crowder has served with valiant dedication to his constituents and Raleigh’s interests as a whole. His total commitment to public service was especially evident over the last ten months, during the creation of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Thomas worked with 27 neighborhoods and every Citizens Advisory Council in his district to involve hundreds of people in directly shaping the 2030 Plan. . . Crowder is the driving force behind the City’s sustainability initiative, and thanks to his presence on Council, “people power” is stronger than ever in Raleigh."

"At the end of the day, Crowder is usually on the positive side of issues, particularly regarding responsible development, preservation of neighborhoods, public safety and downtown revitalization, all of them pertinent to District D"

"The Sierra Club’s endorsements are out in the Raleigh and Cary elections. In Raleigh, no surprise that the environmental group is backing ...Thomas Crowder in District D..."

"Thomas Crowder pushed to hold absentee landlords accountability, and he helped jump-start the reconstruction of Hillsborough Street."

"I have worked with Thomas on area issues since 1995, and not once since that time have I known his dedication to Raleigh to waiver. He puts community organization, participation and communication at the forefront of his work, as he understands without hearing first-hand from residents and area businesses he cannot fully grasp the issues within. He always has his finger on the pulse of our district and works tirelessly to promote and seek positive redevelopment and preserve what needs to be protected - all while keeping an eye on the safety, security and value of our communities. I appreciate Thomas’ dedication to ensuring that our future is just as important as our today."

"Thomas is always accessible to the neighborhoods concerns and has always been very supportive of our issues. He has done a TREMENDOUS job of bringing the concerns of all the neighborhoods of District D together so we have a larger voice to have our issues heard. No one has done a better job of representing District D!"

Past President, University Park Homeowner's Association

"I write on behalf of so many who appreciate the many hours you have devoted to guiding us through the maze of city policy and ensuring that neighborhoods are heard as they attempt to maintain the very qualities that have caused so many to invest so much time and money and care in them. For the many other ways you've helped us that I have missed I can only say there were far too many to remember."
