Please help us with the Democratic Voice in Upper Gwynedd.
We, the Democratic Committee for the Township, believe there is much we can do to make our community even more livable.
We also believe there is a need for the Township to work collaboratively with other municipalities to provide joint services that reduce our tax burden.

We have taken back our township:
For over thirty years Republicans ruled the roost. They held all five positions on the Board Of Commissioners. That's because Upper Gwynedd has a winner take all election process. So inspite of Upper Gwynedd being composed of over 40% democratic voters, there was no representation on the Board Of Commissioners.
But all of that changed in 2017 when two democrats were elected to the board. Liz McNaney and Denise Hull turned things around and joined the board of Commissioners and began shaking things up and modernizing a stagnant board.
Then on November 5th 2019 the election changed everything and three more democrats were elected to the Upper Gwynedd Board of Commissioners. Katherine Carter, Martha Simelaro and Ruth Damsker were elected. This made for some significant firsts:
First Democratic Majority Board
First All Female Board
First All Democratic Board
First African American on The Board
We wish the board well and great success in the years ahead and we thank the outgoing board for their years of service.
Pennsylvanians are ready for a fresh start, and I look forward to working with grassroots organizations like the Upper Gwynedd Democrats to make their voices heard. - Tom Wolf - Governor The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Thank you to the Upper Gwynedd Democrats for their strong support of my candidacy and congratulations on your many local successes.

I am inspired by the way the Upper Gwynedd Democrats have been fighting for good government and focused representation at the local, state and national levels for years.
