Get Ready for 2020
Too many people overlook the Local and County elections that occur in between Presidential election years. This 2019 election cycle is supremely important in the run-up to the 2020 elections - and beyond! It is important to get a good turn out and to elect Democrats, not only to build momentum and enthusiasm for the 2020 elections, but also because the election boundaries will be redrawn following the census and we must ensure fair boundaries are fixed for the next 10 years.
District Attorney
Jack Stollsteimer will be the Democratic candidate for District Attorney
Judge of Superior Court
The Democratic candidate for the PA Superior Court is Dan McCaffery
County Council Endorsements
The candidates for the three Delco County Council seats are:
- Monica Taylor
- Christine Reuther
- Elaine Paul Schaefer
If all three are elected, there will be an all-Democratic County Council - which will ensure that the council will remain Democratic for at least 4 years - enough time for real changes to be made to Delco!
Court of Common Pleas
The candidates for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas are:
- Nusrat Rashid
- Stephanie Klein
- Kelly Eckel
- Rick Lowe
It is long past time that we had a Democrat elected as a Judge in Delco...

2019 Elections
Following the success in the 2018 elections we are now focusing on applying the lessons learned to the upcoming 2019 elections. Voter registration and voter turn-out in elections are critical in ensuring that the candidates we as Democrats want to represent us are actually elected.
There are local elections in Rose Valley for seats on the Borough Council. There are also County elections, for DA, Judges on the Court of Common Pleas and for seats on the County Council,
County Elections
There are three positions open on the County Council in 2019. Recall that in 2017 we elected two Democrats to the Council - the first in living memory ! - and this year the remaining three seats are open for election. This gives the Democrats in Delaware County the opportunity to flip the Council from Republican to Democratic control. The addition of Brian Zidek and Kevin Madden to the Council in 2017 has resulted in great strides in improving transparency of the Council's operations. We believe that Democrat control of the Council will be a huge benefit to residents in the County and urge everyone to vote in both the primary and general elections to ensure the maximum number of Democrats are elected to the Council in 2019
Rose Valley Elections
In Rose Valley, Judith Voet and Dave Firn are standing for re-election to the Borough Council. Support them on November 5th in the General Election!
In addition, Michele Downey and Larry Kutys are candidates for the Wallingford / Swarthmore school board.
New Candidates
The 2019 elections for County Council and the Court of Common Pleas have once again demonstrated the energy and interest in local politics that has arisen after the 2016 election results. There were 10 candidates for the four judge positions and 11 for the three Council places. This is unprecedented in the history of Delaware County and illustrates that "all politics is local". Besides, the future candidates for State and National House and Senate seats generally start gaining their experience at the local level - to ensure good candidates for Washington in the future, we should be looking for good candidates for our local councils now.
