Thomas SickofDC Casson for District 3 uS House of Representatives

Born Thomas W Casson in Mobile, Alabama, Thomas was raised watching the news at an early age. At age 17 he was introduced to the newest talk radio program that was then on only 56 radio stations. Rush Limbaugh became daily listening for Thomas after skipping school one day to see what all the buzz was about. Thomas attended Auburn University where he got a degree in Psychology in 3 years. 

Following graduation, Thomas worked at WJHO news talk 1400, for 3 years, as on-air morning host and sales manager. After hosting the largest Congressional debate in the 3rd Congressional district, he served as a staff member in Congress from 1997-2000. 

Thomas ran against long term incumbent Mike Rogers in 2014 and garnered nearly 25% of the vote in the GOP primary. Disillusioned with the corruption in the GOP, (Bentley, Hubbard, etc.) Thomas sought to gain ballot access, as an independent, in 2018 with a new legal name, Thomas Sick of D.C. Casson. Due to the insane ballot access requirements in Alabama his drive for ballot access failed. 

In 2020, Thomas Sick of D.C. Casson qualified with the Alabama GOP to run in the primary against Mike Rogers (who was still in office since 2002 that alone will make you Sick of D.C.). His candidacy was challenged and he was removed from the ballot. The party also attempted to keep his $3,480 qualifying fee. The outrage among regular citizens finally reached the party’s leadership and the qualifying fee was returned. 

Thomas currently lives in Auburn and has resided in Lee County for over 35 years. He and his wife Lorra were licensed foster parents for Lee County and they have adopted 6 children through the foster care system. Their oldest child, Anna, passed away from childhood cancer in 2007. The remaining children are now 16, 14, 11, and twins at 10. Thomas believes in smaller government, especially at the federal level, so that states can have freedom to innovate and prosper. He is thankful to the Libertarian Party for allowing him to have access to the ballot without onerous restrictions.
