REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
NEWTOWN TWP. BOARD of SUPERVISORS 6 YEAR TERM
VOTE for BOTH
VALERIE MIHALEK has an extensive background in public service. Notably, she worked as Deputy District Director under former US Representative Mike Fitzpatrick. Through her efforts she led a coalition of supporters that advocated for and saw the passage of the federal Right to Try legislation in 2018. This law's focus is on the terminally ill. Valerie has worked on many local projects such as: the response to two major floods in Yardley (2005), Washington Crossing Cemetary, Garden of Reflection and Pedestrian Safety. Her knowledge of governmental procedures will be a beneficial addition to the Board of Supervisors.
TODD McGONIGAL is a Newtown business owner. Since his Yardley Ice House was a success, he and his wife decided to open a second store in Newtown on State Street. Prior to opening his own business, Todd worked in the Wine & Spirits industry managing Joe Canals. From there he went into sales of Wine & Spirits where he increased revenue from $1.4 million to $3 million. His success was not only due to his business acumen but to the fact that he built a loyal customer base that had confidence in him as their supplier. As a Newtown Supervisor, Todd can bring to the Board of Supervisors the fiscal pragmatism that has made him a successful businessman.
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 Elyn 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!
