Dear Fellow Voters,

November 3rd is Election Day. It is a Municipal Election year, which some people think means little. In fact, this election probably has a more direct impact on you and your family than any other election.

We will be electing township officials, school directors, and county officials – people who will be governing the local institutions that affect us on a daily basis.

Over the past 20 years, Northampton Township has become one of the most attractive places to live in the country. Why? Because the Township Supervisors and other officials have exercised prudence and sound judgment – keeping government small while delivering essential services in a cost effective manner.

I encourage you to support the Republican candidates who have the experience to continue to provide the kind small government and lower taxes that we have come to expect.

As many of you know, Jim Kinney and I lost our reelection bid for Northampton Supervisor two years ago. After 24 years as a Supervisor with a proud record of accomplishments and responsiveness to residents and their concerns, the people chose to elect two Democrats to the Board.

What I do know is this; people who know me chose to support me by their votes. That is why the only District that I won in my reelection bid two years ago was yours, my friends and neighbors in District 7, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Read the rest of this entry »
