REPUBLICAN

DAVID HESS

Several of my priorities facing Lehigh Township are our township roads and the new public works building, which has been in the planning stages for many years.

My wife, Kaleena, and I are proud residents of Lehigh Township and proud supporters of all first responders!

REPUBLICAN

GERALD L. PRITCHARD

I am running for Lehigh Township supervisor to keep our taxes low while attempting to grow our tax base. I want to protect our farmland and the property rights of our township citizens. I intend to preserve our beautiful parks while holding developers accountable to their agreement. I will make it a priority to complete the Cherryville intersection that has been started. I will see that our maintenance building is finished within the money allotted. Lastly, I will hold our committee accountable while being a supervisor for the people.
