To the Editor:

I’ve known Monica Hodges for her entire life.

I’ve witnessed firsthand her dedication and commitment to the township.

Before she was elected in 2021, she attended 180 meetings and advocated for her fellow neighbors. She promised to continue to do so once elected. And she delivered, keeping the promises she made.

She’s a dedicated servant to her community. When I am with her, I see her taking time to answer calls, texts and emails from residents. If she doesn’t have answers, she finds answers. Her care and concern for all residents reflects not only her genuine compassion as a person, but also her calling as a nurse — someone who is devoted to caring for every patient with dignity and respect, regardless of their beliefs or background.

She votes thoughtfully. She’s harder on herself than anyone will ever know. There are sleepless nights. And the desire to serve to the best of her ability.

I encourage South Whitehall residents to vote for her on or before Nov. 4. I am proud to call her my daughter.
