Meet Tomara DeCosta

A Leader for Change
Committed to Community Growth

My name is Tomara DeCosta, and I was raised in Darlington, SC, home of the renowned Darlington Raceway, a favorite among NASCAR enthusiasts. I was married in Raleigh in 2002 and am a proud parent of two children who graduated from Leesville High School and are currently attending college.

I bring over 20 years of experience in the healthcare field. For the past six years, I have been employed in a Clinical Research Organization (CRO) contracted by pharmaceutical manufacturers to manage clinical research studies and provide essential services to support product development. Prior to this role, I successfully founded and operated NC Reflexology, a small business focused on health and wellness, which I built from the ground up.

My passion for helping people and advocating for others has always been a driving force in my life. This same passion fuels my commitment to serve our community. I am dedicated to working tirelessly for the betterment of our city, focusing on improving the overall quality of life for all residents.

As a city council member, I am committed to making positive changes in our community.

  • I will prioritize reducing wasteful spending to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used efficiently.

  • I also believe in providing strong protection for our seniors and veterans who have served our country.

  • Supporting small businesses is crucial for our local economy, and I will work to create an environment where they can thrive.

  • It is essential to offer competitive salaries for our hardworking city workers to retain talent and maintain a high level of service.

  • I am dedicated to making our streets safer and more attractive to create a better environment for residents and visitors alike.

  • I will work with developers to produce more housing and create beautiful neighborhoods.

    These are just a few of the changes I will champion as your Raleigh City Council member.
