Michael Thomas
Nominee, Representing Madison Park
Michael Thomas has worked for the Social Security Administration for 18 years, where he takes pride in making a difference in the lives of everyday Americans by assisting with disability claims.
Before this role, his first passion was serving the youth of Baltimore City—a commitment that spanned more than two decades. This included 12 years as a special education teacher, tutoring youth through the Baltimore Urban League’s Youth Diversion Project, serving as a youth counselor with the Young People’s Health Connection, and volunteering in multiple group homes for boys. He also acted as a liaison for parents of children with disabilities. In recognition of this work, Michael received multiple honors, including a Baltimore City Council award for “dedication to Baltimore City youth” and a Kweisi Mfume Congressional Achievement Award.
A proud Baltimore native, Michael has been a homeowner in Madison Park for over 25 years and has long been rooted in the history and culture of Midtown, Reservoir Hill, Druid Heights, Penn North, Upton, and surrounding neighborhoods.
Raised near Whitelock and Brookfield, he fondly recalls a childhood filled with penny candy, record stores, neighborhood pharmacies, apple trees, and Afro Clean Block competitions. His journey through Duke Ellington Elementary, John Eager Howard, Mt. Royal Intermediate School, Frederick Douglass High School, and Coppin State University shaped his deep connection to the community.
For Michael, every opportunity to serve this community—one that has given him so much—is a source of joy and pride.
