Si Tom ang first nominee ng Anak Maharlikang Pilipino party-list group, na isusulong umano ang karapatan ng construction workers.
Si Tom ay produkto ng Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up at kasalukuyang aktor ng Kapuso network.
Ang second nominee ng Anak Maharlikang Pilipino ay ang aspiring actor na si Billy James Renacia.
Samantala, naghain din ng kandidatura si Leren para konsehal sa Los Baños, Laguna noong Biyernes, October 8.
Sabi ni Leren sa video na in-upload ng mayoral candidate ng nasabing bayan na si Anthony Genuino, ito na ang panibagong yugto ng kanyang karera.
Saad niya, “Gusto ko pong tahakin ang bagong yugto ng ating buhay sa paglilingkod sa ating bayan.”
Katatapos lang lumaban ni Leren sa Miss Universe Philippines 2021 kung saan masuwerte siyang nakapasok sa Top 10.
Pagkatapos nito ay inihayag niya ang pagreretiro sa pageant world.
Sabi niya sa kanyang Instagram noong October 1, “#WeMadeItHappen [heart, circled star emojis]
“The crown is my dream and representing Philippines is my pride and honor, we might not have the crown but having you fight with me all through out the competition made me realized that the true crown is infront of me and that crown is you.
