I've dubbed him the "Quiet Man" of Northampton County Council. Most politicians have a difficult time trying to be succinct, but not this guy. He follows Abraham Lincoln's admonition that it is better to be quiet and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt. When he does speak, people listen. His name is Tom Giovanni. He represents NorCo's District 4, which includes the slate belt and northern tier. He announced yesterday that he is running for County Executive. Below is his release:
(Plainfield Township, PA) Republican Northampton County Councilman Thomas Giovanni announced today that he is running for Northampton County Executive. Giovanni will formally announce his candidacy alongside a slate of Republican candidates for Northampton County row offices at an in-person press conference on February 6th.
“After seven years of failed leadership under County Executive Lamont McClure, it is time for a change in Northampton County,” said Giovanni. “Mr. McClure and his allies have taken Northampton County backwards. He failed in his constitutional responsibility to administer fair and secure elections; disastrously failed to give county residents an equal opportunity to vote after two election fiascos in 2019 and 2023; and even failed the most vulnerable of our county’s citizens by not maintaining the quality of care at Gracedale.”
“The dysfunction and incompetence of Mr. McClure’s tenure motivated me to offer better leadership and a new direction for Northampton County,” continued Giovanni. “I will help Northampton County reach a brighter future and continue to be a champion for every resident as I have done as a council member. No matter who Mr. McClure and his allies back in this election to continue his failed track record, it will not deter me from working to better Northampton County.”
“We need an executive who will work for the people of Northampton County instead of weaponizing the office and leaving the people of Northampton County behind. I will be making a formal announcement on February 6th, along with a slate of candidates that will truly fight for the people of Northampton County.”

Good man glad to see him run.
After what Northampton County has been through the past years with Lamont…this is a nice change. I hope he wins.
A true gentleman respected by both democrats and republicans. He will ensure employees get real pay and clean up the mess left by Bailing McClure. Time to open up the books and send Baloney Barron packing. Knowledgeable person vs. Zero Zirinski.
Failed leadership? Leaving residents behind? Taking us backwards? Are you serious with these lies?
You are a do nothing lonely man who constantly creeps around the county courthouse to occupy your time. Quiet is right. You have nothing to say unless LVH sends you on a mission.
Giovanni is a flying monkey who takes orders. He doesn't have the capacity to give them.
Tom Giovanni is the least effective member of County Council in the history of home rule. He never opens his mouth, and when he does such profound nonsense comes out that you’re glad he never says anything. He has not proposed one resolution and/or ordinance that has made anyone’s life any better.
Yes, we absolutely should turn elections over to the guys who only trust the results when they win.
Oh, boy. Let's replace one fat white guy from one side side of the ailse with another fat white guy from the other side of the ailse who have nothing but disdain for the other party. That should change things up. Oy.
