REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES

NEWTOWN TWP. BOARD of SUPERVISORS    6 YEAR TERM

(Two vacancies: John Mack (D) & Dennis Fisher (D) will not be running to seek another term)

VOTE for BOTH

VALERIE MIHALEK and TODD McGONIGAL 

Both Valerie Mihalek and Todd McGonigal have been tirelessly working on stopping the Sewer Treatment Plant in Newtown. People are under the misguided impression that this project is cancelled. No! The sewer treatment plant project has been SUSPENDED. Newtown Board of Supervisor Elen Snyder (D) also sits on the board of the Newtown Sewer Authority. Although she claims that she, as a Supervisor, is listening to the constituents and is against the Sewer Treatment Plant, will she change her mind (as she did with the Wawa) if the Democrats keep a 4 to 1 majority?

The Sewer Treatment Plant is a financial & environmental fiasco. To read about this project:  Stop the Newtown Sewer Plant!

*The Newtown Sewer Authority, with no input from the public, had 17.5 acres condemned and paid 9 million dollars for this land. They purchased this land (Lower Silverlake Road, behind the Wawa) with the intent to build a Sewer Treatment Plant.  This is why our rates went up for the "debt service of the land acquisition and capital costs of the Waste Water Treatment Plant, among other items". (Minutes from the June 11, 2024 meeting, last page, 2406_11-Minutes-full.pdf )  Here is where we get the 47% increase in our rates: September 10, 2024 3rd page: 2409_10-Minutes-with-Correspondence.pdf 

*The Newtown Board of Supervisors (BOS) appoints 3 members to the Sewer Authority Board (Newtown Boro Council appoints the 3 other members). There is a vacancy because Linda Bobrin (D) resigned from the Sewer Authority Board since she is running for Judge for Bucks County Court of Common Pleas. Three Newtown Twp. residents applied to be appointed. Two applicants withdrew their applications before July 9, 2025. The remaining applicant was Mark Bjorkman, who publicly stated he was against the Sewer Treatment Plant. Yet, on July 9, 2025, the BOS appointed Dennis Fisher (D), who is NOT running again for Supervisor due to health issues, to sit on the board of the Sewer Authority! Mr. Bjorkman's application was totally ignored! Why? Because at July 9 meeting, Elen Snyder (D) announced that at the end of the year she will resign from the Sewer Authority Board and one can surmise they need one of their own (Dennis Fisher (D)) on that board. VALERIE & TODD NEED YOUR VOTE!!

A Sewer Treatment Plant in Newtown Twp. will:

Lower our property values 

Lake Luxembourg will get polluted 

Our air will stink 

There will be more overdevelopment & traffic.

NEWTOWN TWP. TAX COLLECTOR

TAMMY L. SUTTON is running for re-election. Tammy has been our Tax Collector for many years and has a wealth of experience. She runs this office efficiently and should be rewarded with another term. Go to the website below & check out the Real Estate millage rates. Now do you see why we need a Republican majority on the Board of Supervisors?! Newtown Twp. Supervisors are the ones who decide our property taxes.

  Newtown Township Tax Office  

NEWTOWN TWP.  AUDITOR

DELIA ABRAHAMSEM is running because she is capable of bringing strong professional oversight to the Newtown Township budget.

BUCKS COUNTY ROW OFFICES  4 YEAR TERM

BUCKS COUNTY SHERIFF

FRED HARRAN is running for re-election. In the last four years Sheriff Harran has made many improvements in Bucks County's law enforcement.  Sheriff Haran has 39 years of law enforcement experience in Bucks Co. He is now being attacked by our Democrat Commissioners, Diane Marseglia and Bob Harvie for signing the 287g agreement with ICE. They claim that as Commissioners, they are the ones who must "okay" his signing of the agreement. What did Sheriff Haran sign on to? If a criminal is apprehended and is found to be in our country illegally, the criminal will be reported to ICE. The "immigration" groups came to the Commissioners' meeting to rail against this law & order directive, (Public Comment). (1st Wednesday County Commissioners' Meeting • Bucks County Meeting Portal • CivicClerk ) A public comment at the May 21,2025 was quite telling (44:18 minute mark - 46:15): 3rd Wednesday County Commissioners' Meeting • Bucks County Meeting Portal • CivicClerk  This woman claims her relative had seven DUIs and he was NOT DEPORTED. "They took his license away". 1) Who in their right mind would volunteer this information?! 2) Yes, we have our own citizen miscreants, case in point, the relative who could have killed innocents seven times. We DO NOT need illegal aliens who break our laws added to the mix! Thank you, Sheriff Haran for looking out for OUR SAFTEY!

BUCKS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY

JENNIFER SCHORN served as Assistant District Attorney for DA Matt Weintraub and has completed his term when he became a Judge. Jennifer has 25 years of experience in the District Attorney's office prosecuting all types of criminal cases, including capital murder, homicide, child sexual and physical abuse, human trafficking and major crimes. As Bucks Co. District Attorney, Ms. Schorn will continue to prosecute the criminals that Sheriff Harran & his team apprehend. She knows that poor public policy leads to unsafe communities. Jen Shorn is running against Joe Khan (D), who was an Assistant District Attorney in Philadelphia. We DO NOT want to import the "Let 'em out" Larry Krasner mindset into Bucks County District Attorney's office!

BUCKS COUNTY CONTROLLER

PAM VANBLUNK is running for re-election. Bucks County has had its own DOGE  with Ms.VanBlunk serving as Controller. She has stopped more than $2 million in fraudulent claims, started the Unclaimed Funds Program which returned more than $730,000 to individuals, small businesses and nonprofits. As Controller, she is a check on the County Commissioners' spending. Commissioners Harvie (D) & Marseglia(D) have been attacking VanBlunk because she approved the pay raise for the Sheriff Harran's deputies. Both Democrat Commissioners stressed that there is a "process" which includes "legal council" and they are the ones to make that decision. Curiously, they weren't concerned with "process & legal council" on November 14, 2024. They had both voted to count ballots that the court deemed unacceptable. (32:00 to 39:48 Board of Elections • Bucks County Meeting Portal • CivicClerk )  which includes Marseglia's rant heard around the country. Please note she did not care that Bucks County taxpayers would be paying to relitigate this decision if she had her way. 

BUCKS COUNTY PROTHONARTY

COLEEN CHRISTIAN is running for re-election. The Prothonarty is an office of a lot of paperwork, from Birth Certificates to Passports applications! When Coleen first assumed this position, passport processing was 10 per week. She streamlined the procedure and Prothonarty can now process 1000/month. She also established the Self Help Center.

BUCKS COUNTY RECORDER OF DEEDS

DANIEL McPHILLIPS is running for re-election. This office maintains a permanent record of all documents related to Real Estate and various other documents such as Veteran's discharges, Notary Public commissions.

RETENTION OF JUDGES 

The year before a Judge's term expires they can ask to be retained. If 50% of the voters say YES, they are allowed to stay on the bench for another TEN YEARS! They won't need to be re-elected! If 50% of the voters say NO to their retention, they will vacate the bench and there will be a special election in 2027.

PA SUPREME COURT

Currently, there are 5 Democrats & 2 Republicans on the bench.

The following 3 Democrats have requested to be retained:

Judge Wecht (D)          X    NO

Judge Donohue (D)     X     NO

Judge Dougherty (D)   X    NO

*They let Gov. Wolf shutdown PA during COVID

*They allowed Mail-in-Ballots returned 3 days late to count in 2020

*They allowed the Dept. of State to remove the Green Party from the ballot in 2020.

*They will now make a decision about RGGI after briefings. RGGI is a disaster for PA. Are they waiting to make their decision until after the November 4 election? Hoping that if they are retained that they can render their decision according to their leftists' leanings, WITHOUT REPERCUSION? See: In the News.
