The good news is that turnout in our area was much higher than in past off-year elections, and the results were considerably closer than in the past.  The bad news is, our team did not pick up any seats.  The link for local election results can be found here: http://www.montcopa.org/montco/election/2007%20General%20Election%20Result.htm

To the disappointment of Montgomery County Democrats, the Republicans picked up two of the three County Commissioner seats, with Joe Hoeffel winning the minority seat.  However, there were a number of bright spots locally.  Mary Lou Readinger handily won her race to be supervisor for Plymouth Township’s 4th ward.  Dems picked up numerous seats in Conshohocken, and won all three Whitemarsh supervisor seats outright.  Democrats also picked up a number of county row office seats, such as Clerk of Courts, Controller, Prothonotary and Coroner, among others.

So – thank you for your support and your vote.  Even though we lost, your support did not go to waste.  The Right Team gave the Republicans the first really competitive race they’d had in years.  The name recognition our team built up could lay the foundation for victory in future years.

We’ll be back in 2009.  Again, thank you for your support.

Today, November 6, is Election Day!  For most of 2007, you’ve seen Right Team candidates at community events, met us as we walked the Colonial School District, read our flyers, and got mailings from our team and from the Republicans.

 Now it’s your turn!  Your vote is your voice, and your vote for the Right Team will set the course for needed change in the  Colonial School District.

See you at the polls on November 6!

The Right Team is in the home stretch!  In less than a week, voters have an historic opportunity to send a message that the Colonial School District’s parents, teachers, and taxpayers will no longer accept ”business as usual.”

This will happen only if Colonial’s Democrats, Independents, and progressive-minded Republicans actually get out and vote on November 6!   Recently, Conshohocken, Plymouth Township, and Whitemarsh Township have trended Democratic in even-numbered years, when the presidency and congressional seats are up for a vote.  In the past, however, progressive, independent, and moderate voters have often given into the temptation to sit out local elections.

Resist that temptation!  Republicans want you to stay home on November 6.  Democrats have never had a better chance to bring needed change to county and municipal government – and to the Colonial School District – but only if you get out and vote!   

If you’re unsure of the location of your polling place, please follow this link.  From the drop-down box, choose Conshohocken, Plymouth, or Whitemarsh.

We commend the PW student and parent who came forward with information about the plot, and the Plymouth Township Police Department for their speedy response.  All these actions averted a potential tragedy.
