One of the traditional measures of success in American government is what you accomplished during your first 100 days in office. So, I thought I’d provide an accounting of what the Manheim Township Commissioners have accomplished in our first four months of the 2020-1 term.

The 2020 Primary Election will be held on June 2. We offer our Voting Guide for your consideration. It lists all the candidates that are on the ballot, with those we have endorsed highlighted.

MT Commissioners Sam Mecum, Tom O'Brien, Barry Kauffman, and Allison Troy signed this joint statement on Wednesday, May 13 condemning the announcement of local Republican officials that they would ignore the PA Department of Health guidelines and reopen Lancaster County on May 15 ahead of schedule.

MT Dems, we are not meeting in person on May 6 because of the pandemic. Instead, we will meet virtually via Zoom from 6-7 PM. If you would like to attend, please sign up below and we will email you the link.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we will not be holding our usual meeting on Wednesday, April 1. Instead, our District Leader will share a message via video and we will organize remotely. Please note that the primary has been moved back to June 2.

This is the year! Come to the MT Dems meeting on Wednesday, March 4 at 6:00 PM. We’re making our preparations for 2020. Come find a role with us.

Manheim Township is governed by a Board of 5 Commissioners and our Commissioners are setting aside time the 3rd Saturday of each month to meet with residents of Township at the Coffee with a Commissioner from 9-11 AM at the Municipal Building (1840 Municipal Drive Lancaster, PA 17601). Drop by and discuss. Let our local officials know what matters to you.

Our candidates need your signatures to get on the ballot in April. So we are throwing a petition-signing party so that Democrats in Manheim Township can sign the nominating petitions of candidates that they care about. And there will be snacks and treats! Drop in and sign some petitions, have a cookie, meet a candidate, and connect with your neighbors.

This is the year! Come to the MT Dems meeting on Wednesday, February 5 at 6:30 PM. We’re making our preparations for 2020. Come find a role with us.
