About Thomas Hicks: 

Thomas Hicks was nominated by President Barack H. Obama and confirmed by unanimous consent of the United States Senate on December 16, 2014, to serve on the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). 

Commissioner Hicks has focused his efforts on encouraging young people to become involved in the voting process and frequently speaks at conferences in the U.S. and overseas on issues such as cybersecurity, election official safety, and voter access. Under his leadership, the EAC developed a pocket-sized voter card that serves as a guide on voting rights for voters with disabilities.  

Prior to his appointment with the EAC, Commissioner Hicks served on the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on House Administration from 2003 to 2014. In this role, he was responsible for issues relating to campaign finance, election reform, contested elections, and oversight of both the EAC and the Federal Election Commission.  

Mr. Hicks received his J.D. from the Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, and his B.A. in Government from Clark University (Worcester, MA). He studied at the University of London (London, England) and law at the University of Adelaide (Adelaide, Australia).
