Fellow Dems-

After taking some down time at the beginning of the to reflect on 2022’s meetings, rallies, fund-raising, sign plantings,

postcard mailings, clean-ups, protests, poll-covering…and just plain WORK, we immediately began to get ready to do it all again!

But first, look where all that hard work got us:

GO TEAM!

2023:

We made it through the May Primary Election and now on to November (recognizing that many of us will be voting by mail in October.

Priority 1: Become familiar with the local races affecting our townships

Lower Salford: Lower Salford Supervisor (one seat)- We thought we had a write-in candidate in May, but it didn't work out.
Upper Salford: Upper Salford Supervisor (one seat)- A successful write-in effort put Dan Lanpher on the fall ballot for Township Supervisor
Auditor (one seat)
Souderton Area School Board (four seats)- Souderton Area for Responsible Leadership
Montgomery County: County Commissioners (two seats). County Offices
In addition, there will be several County Row offices* (see County Offices) and judgeships on the ballot.

Stay tuned for more information.

Thanks!

*What is a Row Officer?

“Inside the pages of the Pennsylvania Constitution, replete with ringing endorsements of free

speech, free religion, and protection of natural resources, is a structural guarantee not well

known. According to Article IX, Section 4 of the state constitution, ‘county officers shall consist

of ... controllers ... district attorneys ... treasurers, sheriffs, registers of wills, recorders of deeds,

clerks of courts, and such others as may from time to time be provided by law.’

These eight positions, plus the coroner, are commonly known as row officers. The title of row

officer came about in the early years of the constitution when the departments were first listed

in a row on the elections ballot.”
