To the Editor:

I am writing this letter to strongly endorse my colleagues, Monica Hodges and Chris Peischl, for re-election as South Whitehall Township Commissioners.

After years of challenges, our township is thriving, achieving unprecedented levels of fiscal health, commitment to first responders, and a clear plan to preserve open space.

This success is directly attributable to the deep knowledge Monica and Chris bring to every decision.

I have witnessed their work firsthand, and truly believe they are the most qualified candidates for this important position in our community.

Their consistent dedication to the township – Monica attending over 180 public meetings before joining the board, and Chris’ 42 years as a volunteer firefighter – is unparalleled.

In this election, we cannot risk our community’s future.

That’s why I am proud to stand with Monica and Chris.

As the only registered Democrat on the board, I urge all residents to join me in looking beyond party labels and voting for these exceptional candidates.

In chaotic times, Monica Hodges and Chris Peischl brought calm, steady leadership to South Whitehall.

If re-elected, their selfless service will benefit our community for decades to come.

Thomas J. Johns

South Whitehall Township Commissioner
