Local elected Democratic committeepersons endorsed this full slate of candidates for the two seats in Region 1, one seat in Region 2, and three seats in Region 3.
“These candidates are highly qualified and experienced, and they are personally invested in and dedicated to making Pennsbury the absolute best it can be for our communities,” said Lower Makefield/Yardley Democratic Committee Chair Karen Vander Laan
Jeff Rocco, chair of the Falls Township Democrats, added “This diverse group will add fresh perspectives to the board so we can build on the progress the district has achieved over the past several years.
