Thomas D. Westfall

Thomas D. Westfall

Thomas D. Westfall arrived in El Paso, Texas as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the El Paso office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In this capacity he supervised criminal investigations of offenses of federal laws until his retirement.

In 1978, Westfall decided to run for the nonpartisan position of Mayor of El Paso and was successful in his campaign. A no-nonsense individual, he ran into situations which put him in opposition to many of his political opponents, some of whom preferred a more subtle approach to problems and, upon completion of his first and only term, he chose not to run for re-election.

Westfall died in North Bend, OregonFact|date=May 2008 in March 2005 at the age of 77. [ [http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/79R/billtext/html/HR01211F.htm Texas House Resolution 1211 (2005)] , Texas Legislature]
