Advance Huntsville is excited to welcome Thomas Casez as new co-lead for our chapter! A Huntsville native and software engineer, Thomas began his journey in the political world in 2021 while living in Atlanta. After joining the Cobb Democratic Party in 2022, he helped flip several seats in the Atlanta suburbs, including the Cobb Solicitor General race and key state house contests. Now back in Huntsville, Thomas is channeling his technical skills and passion for forward-thinking policies to help shape a brighter future for the city.
Thomas is taking the place of Cathy Reisenwitz, who has decided to take a step back for 2025. Cathy founded Huntsville New Liberals, which would go on to become Advance Huntsville, in June of 2023. Her work and dedication to making a better Huntsville have left an indelible mark on the community. Under her leadership, the organization grew from a small grassroots effort into a well-recognized platform for progressive ideas and civic engagement. While she steps back from her leadership role, her legacy will undoubtedly continue to guide and motivate the efforts of Advance Huntsville in the years to come.
