Election Day is very close now. We are nearing the end of a very civil campaign. So a few thoughts for these final days.

I am running for Upper Providence Township Council to represent all of the voters – whatever political, religious, ethnic or other specific affiliation – in Upper Providence District 4. That is really a given. Beyond that I would like to make sure that the township is a place where all residents feel comfortable attending meetings, applying for positions on committees, and expressing their concerns, and where they feel that their voices are heard and their issues are addressed. I would like to see a place where information is shared routinely, and where resident input is sought and planning is done in a proactive manner.

I have in the past been very involved with my children’s school and community activities – from PTG Publicity Chair for many years, participant on Principal’s and Superintendent’s Advisory Boards, AM Prom worker for three years, band parent, booster club facilitator, working to keep my daughter’s soccer team going when coaches were hard to find, and Girl Scout leader to teaching Art Goes to School. I have also served on local nonprofit boards and continue to participate in bar association committees. With my children off at college, however, I now have more time to become more involved in the local community, which is why I am running in this election.

I hope that you will grant me the opportunity to serve on the Upper Providence Township Council.

If you agree with my thoughts, please come out and vote for me on Tuesday, November 3rd. Press A28. Polls are open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. Polls for Upper Providence District 4 are located at the rear of Reformation Lutheran Church, on the south side of Rose Tree Road near the intersection of Rose Tree Road and Route 252.

I hope to see you at the polls. Please stop and say hello.

Great rally for the Democrat candidates in Media with Governor Wolf, Senator Casey and other elected representatives. There were also a lot of current candidates, including Sue Williamson and me. All were welcomed - supporters and dissenters.

On Nov. 3, Pennsylvania will elect an unprecedented three new justices to the state Supreme Court, making it an election with far-reaching and lasting consequences.

Spent some time making calls to remind people to vote. Now I feel like walking and door knocking were useful in getting to know my neighbors in UP4. But oh so much voice mail and so many wrong numbers.

In 8 days the election will be over!!! Tomorrow is the last day to apply for an absentee ballot. That would have to be in person..http://www.co.delaware.pa.us/elections/2015/2015AbsenteeApplication.pdf

One issue that has been simmering for years, and will be directly impacted by our votes next week is the continued lack of a comprehensive strategy from our County government regarding public health.

The Media Halloween Parade is still a nice event to watch - even though my band child has moved on. I always like seeing the Penncrest Band costumes.

The history of what groups of people have the right to vote is long and contorted. Adult men were granted this right by the 14th and 15th Amendments in 1868 and 1870, respectively, though subject to indirect disenfranchisement for many years after that.

I was amazed to find, however, that women were not granted the right to vote until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920 (though this was not unusual as other countries granted this right at various times since the 1800s – for instance, Germany in 1918, France in 1944, and Saudi Arabia in a limited way in 2015).

But this provides a lesson for us all. The right to vote should not be taken for granted. Please vote November 3rd.
