• Let's end mass warrantless surveillance in Lynchburg. There will be a City Council meeting August 25th at 7pm, and the deadline to sign up to speak is noon Friday. Flock systems will be on the agenda. There will be several resolutions considered. Some are good. Some are okay. Some are delaying tactics for political reasons. Look, I get it—politicians use hot issues like these for strategic maneuvering. To some extent, that's politics. It doesn't necessarily mean they're being disingenuous; pol

• It's been good to see this issue getting more traction. Eliminating the use of Flock camera systems was part of my platform, and I remain committed to seeing them removed from the city. https://www.wdbj7.com/2026/07/07/lynchburg-keeping-flock-surveillance-technology-despite-privacy-concerns/ Here are some common arguments for the Flock camera systems--and why they're wrong: 1. "You have no expectation of privacy in public." Of course you don't, and that is entirely irrelevant. The problem he

• You will not find a stronger candidate on the 2nd Amendment. "Shall not be infringed" means exactly what it says. You don't need a politician, professor, or judge to tell you what it means. It is crystal clear. Not only do I support Lynchburg’s existing Second Amendment Sanctuary Resolution, but I would strengthen it by adding a provision making clear that Lynchburg will not use local resources to enforce *any* new anti-Second Amendment dictates from Richmond. No exceptions. And that's just wh

• Hey Lynchburg, I'm Ryan Thomas and I’m running for City Council to bring principled Constitutional conservative leadership back to local government — leadership focused on affordability, less bureaucracy, defending constitutional rights, and actually following through on the values we campaign on. No drama. Just good policy. The Republican primary is May 30th from 8am–3pm at the Brookville Ruritan Club, 311 Beverly Hills Circle, Lynchburg, VA 24502. That’s just 3 days away. This campaign has

• A lot of people in Lynchburg are exhausted. Exhausted with the drama, the dysfunction, and watching performative politics replace effective governance. I’m running for City Council to bring principled Constitutional conservative leadership back to local government — leadership focused on affordability, less bureaucracy, defending constitutional rights, and actually following through on the values we campaign on. That means making housing more affordable through deregulation and modernized zon
