Iowa Straw Poll

Contratulations to Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann for winning the Ames Straw Poll.

Many political victories have started in Iowa and ended in the White House. Only time will tell if Michcle is the Republican candidate with staying power.

For the Republican Party, now is the time when our election decisions are being made as we shorten the long list of Presidential Hopefuls.

If you're going to contribute funds or volunteer time to support candidates that best reflect your values, now is the time. The battle for the ballot box has begun and your involvement at this point in the process will make a big difference in who faces off against President Obama.

Google your candidates name. Link up with them on their campaign website. Volunteer your time. Consider contributing this week's "dinner out" money as a means to make a difference in the upcoming Presidential election.

Remember, all politics are local.

Let's get involved and change the course of our nation's future. For ourselves and the future generations to come.

With hope and good cheer,

Melissa Viscomi

Chester County Employees Reject Union Vote

Last week, employees of the Chester County Department of Human Services voted down unionization.  

Commendations are due to those county employees who voted against unionizing and to our Republican Commissioners Terence Farrell and Ryan Costello, who played a key role in the decision making process.

For more information on the vote the Daily Local News covered the failed measure. Read more at Daily Local News Coverage

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.
