Pennsylvania
Running for: State Senate
Christopher Thomas is running for Pennsylvania’s 24th State Senate District to take on the cost-of-living crisis and deliver a new generation of leadership for working families. A former public school teacher, community organizer, and active volunteer firefighter, Chris knows that true leadership means showing up when people need you most.
Raised in a family of veterans, coal miners, and educators, Chris learned the dignity of hard work early on. As a middle school teacher, he saw how underfunded schools and broken systems fail both students and educators. This inspired his transition into community organizing, where he has been a relentless advocate for fully funding public schools, lowering everyday costs, and ensuring no family has to choose between paying rent, buying groceries, or affording healthcare.
He continues working to build grassroots power across Montgomery and Berks counties. Chris lives in Perkiomenville with his wife, Lydia.
