Chairman's Message

Dear Radnor Republicans and Friends:
 
As I write to you, we are 30 days away from an important municipal election. On November 5 th, you can each be proud to cast your vote for our exceptional Republican candidates running for Township Commissioner and Radnor School Board of Directors, as well as for Delaware County District Attorney, County Council and Judges of the Court of Common Pleas.

Republican leadership will restore responsible and responsive governance after several scandals involving Democratic officials have tainted our community, as we were reminded by the recent conviction and sentencing of Democrat Phil Ahr for child pornography. Ahr a former President of our Board of Commissioners, committed horrible crimes, yet Democrats on our board of commissioners continued to support him, even after his crimes against children were known. More information about this is published below.

It is time for a positive change in our Township governance, and you can ensure that change by voting for our excellent candidates on November 5 th

Please also consider supporting our campaign efforts at two events coming in October: our Fall Reception and Fundraiser at a private home in Wayne on October 13 th and a rally for our exceptional District Attorney candidate, Katayoun “Kat” Copeland, and our State Superior Court Candidates, Christylee Peck and Megan King, on October 23 rd at Main and Vine Bistro in Villanova. Meet these exceptional women, each of whom has contributed so much to making our communities safer. More information is provided below.

Interested in assisting our exceptional candidates in the “home stretch” of their campaigns? 

  • Host a neighborhood “meet-and-greet” event for one or more of them.
  • Volunteer to assist their campaign before and during the election.
  • Ensure your vote counts. Not sure if you will be in town on Nov 5thRequest an absentee ballot, now, before it is too late to do so.
  • Make a financial contribution here.

Contact us at info@RadnorGOP.org for more information on any of the above.

Apply Now for Your Absentee Ballot
 
If you're not going to be in town on Election Day, please apply for an absentee ballot as soon as possible. The deadline to apply is October 29, but it's much better to apply earlier to make sure you have sufficient time to receive and return your ballot. The process is simple. Just click here to apply online. A ballot will be mailed to you by the county. If you don't know what your "Election District" is (ward and precinct), you can find out here , or just email your name and address to info@RadnorGOP.org , and we'll look it up for you.
 
If your voting age children are away at college, they should also fill out an absentee ballot.
 
If you complete an absentee ballot but find yourself in town on election day, just let them know at your polling place, and they will destroy your absentee ballot.
Candidate Forums Scheduled
 
The Radnor League of Women Voters has scheduled candidate forums for the School Board candidates (Monday, October 14 at 6 PM) and the Commissioner candidates (Thursday, October 24 at 6 PM). Both forums will be held in the Radnorshire Room at the Township Building, and recordings will be available on the Township's YouTube Channel.
