Every single one of my neighbors has a story about how Tom personally resolved an issue they were facing in their community.
He would drive the district regularly, talk to his constituents, and whenever possible attempt to solve their problems on the spot. (thread)

The example he set in running his office, leading with his sincere love for the city and his love for Angelenos, is one I’ve taken to heart and one that my office hopes to emulate as we move forward.
I was so fortunate to have Tom as my Councilmember and, in the weeks since my election, a friend.
He played the same role in my life as he did as a Councilmember: always available, infinitely generous, a bolt of sunshine when you least expected it.

Councilmember LaBonge embodied the spirit of LA like few others, and he left so much of himself in its fabric.
My heart goes out to his wife Brigid, his family, and the community that cherished his presence in their lives as I did.
