We need your help.

2019 will be a difficult year for Radnor Democrats. Only one Republican seat is in contest in 2019, compared to three Democratic seats. The result is that Republicans have three opportunities to win a seat, while the Democrats have just one.

Most of the work we do as a Township is nonpartisan.  My Republican colleagues are not ideologically opposed to well-paved roads, and they don't cheer when our homes flood.  Nevertheless, I do believe that maintaining a Democratic majority in Radnor matters, and is important.

Ten years ago, Radnor Township elected a Democratic majority for the first time in a century.  The change came about after the exposure of financial irregularities that resulted in the termination of the Township's manager, some of which are still haunting the Township today.  The Radnor Democrats have committed themselves to transparency and financial responsibility since then, and the Township's success shows that it's been working.

As a result, your help is crucial to securing the Township's future. Thank you so much for your generous support.

THE PLANA simple roadmap to keep Radnor moving forward.

  • Step 1: Infrastructure.

    Radnor Township is right at the heart of the Main Line, ideally placed for growth and development consistent with our small town feel. In spite of that, our aging infrastructure threatens our quality of life. It’s time for Radnor to move aggressively on storm water management and our sewers, and to work collaboratively with utilities to keep the community working.

  • Step 2: Integrity.

    The majority was elected because Radnor residents are committed to financial integrity. That means paying for the infrastructure and services we need and right sizing the ones we don’t. Fiscal responsibility needs to come before politics.

  • Step 3: Investment.

    Radnor’s economic engine is driven by its businesses and residents. Working in partnership with our colleagues in business and industry, Radnor can continue the good work it has begun to revitalize its downtown, parks, library, and public spaces.
