To the Editor:

As a disillusioned voter who endured years of pandering to corporate interests, Monica Hodges remains a shining beacon, a stark contrast to former South Whitehall Township commissioners.

Her values are truly bipartisan and cogently explained in her STAR campaign.

Indeed, I have several examples of her work that directly has improved safety in our neighborhood.

She helped us secure additional signage on a road where cars were traveling dangerously fast, and also provided timely updates regarding suspicious cars in our neighborhood in the setting of recent package thefts.

Her transparency is evident in her multiple Facebook posts inviting all to participate and engage with various township events.

She has held the township to account, completing the auditing of its finances, and her continued respect for the township is manifested in her relentless pursuit of land preservation and adapting the future zoning ordinances to fit this goal.

On the Republican ballot, the choice is clear, but I would also encourage Democrats to write Monica in as their candidate in their ballot to ensure she remains in place to shepherd the township for years to come.

Please vote or write in Monica Hodges for South Whitehall Township commissioner.
