Meet ERC Vice Chairman Tom McCleary
Thomas R. McCleary, Jr., of Grosse Pointe Farms currently serves as vice chairman of the Eastside Republican Club, an organization he helped found in 1992. 
Reflecting on the formation of the group, McCleary said, “We're in our 15th year”. He recalled that Grosse Pointe Park's Andrew Richner was another who was instrumental in launching the ERC.
Of his early involvement, McCleary said, “We believed a monthly forum would keep Republicans informed on local and state issues, and keep our membership enthused between elections.”
He said he continues his ERC involvement because, “I believe in Republican principles.”
In addition to service as a founding member, past ERC chairman, and his present position as vice chairman, McCleary currently serves as membership chairman, ERC Review coordinator, and director of the Club's Political Action Committee.
He is also an active member of the 13th District Republican Executive Committee, and the Republican State Committee, Lansing, where he serves on the policy subcommittee.
Now retired, McCleary has time for involvement in a number of pursuits including, sports, travel, investing, gardening, and reading.
He and his wife, Ann, have a daughter, Kathy, who lives in Falls Church, Va., and a son, Tom, who lives in Oakland, Calif. They also enjoy frequent visits with their four granddaughters.
