Jackie Fenn, President, DASD School Board, Seeks Re-Election

On May 17th, just about a week from today, two local incumbents are seeking re-election: Kevin Kerr, incumbent UUT Supervisor, and Jackie Fenn, President of the DASD School Board. You've probably seen election signs while driving, and here's more information about Jackie and her service record on the School Board. 

Jackie Fenn,
DASD School Board President

Jackie Fenn has served DASD for over 15 years in various rolls: beginning in 1996, working with the district to solve overcrowding problems at Shamona Creek Elementary School, participating on district strategic planning committees, chairing the ACT 1 Tax Commission and sitting on the Coordinated School Health Committee. She's proud of the fact that since joining the school board, expenditure growth has declined every year  — resulting in lower tax increases.


As a parent, former teacher and current Executive Director of the Lionville Community YMCA, Jackie Fenn has the insights and experience necessary to find innovative solutions that are educationally sound and fiscally responsible. She has experience creating and managing multi-million dollar budgets, as well as working with architects, engineers and government agencies to design, construct and manage several new YMCA facilities.


Jackie has served as Republican Committeewoman for Wallace township since November, 2005. Her family has lived in Wallace Township for over 30 years and all three of her children were educated at and graduated from Downingtown Schools.


Jackie will continue to foster the district's long-term financial stability and protect our long tradition of providing excellence in education through the careful stewardship of our financial and human resources.


Jackie's commitment to service is reflected in her contribution in other community groups, including the Downingtown Area CTC (Communities That Care), United of Chester County (Community Impact Team member 2004-2010), Camphill Soltane. She plans on continuing to lead the DASD School Board in upholding the standards of educational excellence, while remaining fiscally sound. She asks for your vote on May 17th so she may continue to serve you on the School Board for another three years.


Jackie Fenn has the Endorsement of the Republican Committee of Upper Uwchlan Township, for Precincts 1 and 3 and Wallace Township.

Eye on Judicial Candidates - with NEW chart

By the authority granted by the electorate, a Court of Common Pleas Judge rules on civil and criminal cases: adoptions, divorces, child custody, abuse, juvenile delinquency, estates, guardianships, charitable organizations, as well as criminal infractions of the law. Clearly, a Judge having experience in both criminal and civil matters is advantageous to the citizens of Chester County.

Few elected officials hold as great a potential for impacting our civil lives as that of Judge—making your vote on Primary Election Day, May 17th, an important one. With this in mind, your committee researched the candidates for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas.  Four candidates are seeking election, and their years in practice and relevant Chester County trial experience vary greatly.  Here’s a summary of what we found:

Sources: candidate websites, party websites, avvo.com  and Chester County Bar Association.

Only two of these candidates stand out: Attorney Ann Marie Wheatcraft and Attorney Mark Tunnell.  Both have many years trying cases here in Chester County, are well known to other members of the Chester County Bar, and have the endorsement of the Republican Party, both County wide and here in Upper Uwchlan Township.

Both Ann Marie Wheatcraft and Mark Tunnell have cross-filed on both the Republican and Democrat ballots.  They are seeking votes merited by their extensive experience in trial law in Chester County. If you are registered Republican, Wheatcraft and Tunnell will appear on your ballot. If you are registered Democrat, all four candidates will appear on your ballot.

Please forward this newsletter and urge all your friends, Democratic and Republican, to carefully review the credentials of these candidates running for Judge, Court of Common Pleas.

Ann Marie Wheatcraft and Mark Tunnell ask for your vote on May 17th. 

If you are registered as an Independent, now is a good time to rethink that posture.  As an Independent, you will be unable to vote in the May 17th Primary.  We urge you to re-register as a Republican in order to vote during future Primary Elections. Otherwise, others will make the decision for you as to who appears on the ballot in the General Election in November.  To change your party affiliation,  clicking here Receive Voter Application Paperwork via U.S Mail
