Preserving the past.
Focusing on the future.
"I’m committed to listening, learning, and leading with heart. I hope to earn both your trust and your vote as we work together to shape the bright future of Batavia."
My name is Tom Connelly, and I’m excited to share my vision for the future of Batavia with you.
Like many of you, I’m proud to call this community home. My wife, kids, and I have put down roots here, and we feel so lucky to be part of such a warm, welcoming, and vibrant city.
As a newer resident, I’ve quickly fallen in love with everything Batavia has to offer—its charming downtown, incredible parks and trails, and most importantly, the people who make this community so special. Batavia is where we’re building our family’s future, and I’m committed to ensuring that it remains a wonderful place for all of us to live, work, and thrive.
I’m not a career politician—I’m a husband, a dad, and an attorney who believes in working hard and doing what’s right. Running for mayor is about more than policies and plans; it’s about being a neighbor who listens, learns, and leads with honesty and heart. I want to honor Batavia’s rich history while fostering the kind of thoughtful growth and progress that will benefit everyone in our community.
This campaign isn’t about me—it’s about us. It’s about what we can accomplish together to make Batavia an even better place for generations to come. I can’t wait to hear from you, connect over ideas, and work side by side to build the future we all want to see.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
Together, we can do great things for Batavia!
