#MayorMonday Thomas Humphris, from Champaign, Illinois, worked as an executive at General Paving Company of Champaign before moving to Venice in 1966. He served a two-year term as mayor of the City of Venice from 1972 to 1973. 

Humphris pushed for the planning of new recreation facilities and pushed state officials for a southern link to I-75, along with improvements to U.S. 41.

Humphris Park near Venice’s South Jetty is named in honor of the former mayor.
