Many people are focused on the next year’s presidential election, however, the election being held this November is the one that will have the most impact on our lives as residents of Springfield Township and Delaware County.
In Springfield, Michael Culp, Lee Janiczek, Jeff Rudolph, Bob Layden, and Dan Lanciano are our Republican candidates for Commissioners. The Republican team is focused on providing superior municipal services in the most fiscally responsible fashion. Under Republican leadership the Springfield Police Department became the first police department in Delaware County to be accredited by the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Commission. The Republican Team of candidates for commissioners vows to maintain the excellent level of services we have come to expect here in Springfield, while keeping the taxpayer in mind.
At the County level, Springfield’s own Tom McGarrigle is running for re-election to County Council. Tom is a no-nonsense, tireless worker who has experience with the difficult economic issues that are confronting County Government at this time. Tom has shepherded the County through some tough financial times becoming known for his common sense approach to problem solving. Springfield Township has had a seat on County Government for the last 25 years and I am asking for your support of Tom to make sure that Springfield’s voice continues to be heard.
Also running for County Council as Tom’s running mates are Colleen Morrone and John McBlain. Colleen is a supervisor in Concord Township and Chief Mission Officer for Goodwill Industries. John is the current County Solicitor and former Council Chair for the Borough of Aldan. Both of these individuals bring extensive municipal service and would be great partners for Tom McGarrigle in County Government. Combined, the Republican team for County Council has passed 33 municipal budgets, 25 of which resulted in no tax increase.
Current County Council President Jack Whelan is running for District Attorney. Jack is the only actively licensed practicing attorney in the race. As a former assistant district attorney Jack has personally prosecuted misdemeanor, felony and murder cases representing the citizens of Delaware County.
Spike Angelos, John Capuzzi, Christine Cannon, Mike Green and Nate Nichols round out
the Republican ticket as candidates for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. These are the only candidates in the race who have received the “Highly Qualified” designation from
the Delaware County Bar Association.
Last November Springfield Republicans came together to elect Bill Adolph, Pat Meehan and Tom Corbett and we need to continue the momentum as we approach next year. Please come out to the polls on November 8 and vote for all of the endorsed Republican candidates.
