Delmont Needs You

The whole purpose of today's post is to encourage any reader who may be interested in running for Delmont Council to take action.

I posted on Facebook today a post to encourage citizens of Delmont who are interested in real change in our community to act NOW.  One reason that incumbents stay incumbents is because of the process of getting on the ballot.  There will be some seats opening up on Council in November.  However if you want to be on that ballot you have to go through the primary.  I had to navigate the whole process all by myself and it can be intimidating.   The first question to ask yourself is why would you want to run for Delmont Council?  Here is a list of reasons that I came up with.  If any thing here is a true concern of yours please consider running.  1)  You don't feel that Delmont Council adequately represented your views in the Speed Way debate. 2) You don't think the Council should sell the School building. 3) You are not happy with the recent property purchases of Council. 4) You do not agree with the way that Council is spending you tax dollars. 5) You want Delmont to keep bus Service. 5) You aren't happy with the secrecy that surrounds Shield's Farm.  6) You expressed your concerns to Council. but you don't feel like you have been heard. 7)  Council abandoning the Lion's recycling efforts upsets you.

I could really use your help in changing my 6 to 1 odds.  But what do you have to do?  Go to the County Election Burough  and get a petition.  You will need at least 10 signatures, 9 if you include mine from the party you wish to run.  You are entitled to a CD that contains all the information of the registered voters in your party.  There is a document that needs to be notarized.  You can have this document notarized for free a couple doors down from the Election Board.  If you can get the proper documents feel free to contact me, I would be glad to get them for you from the Court House or help you complete the proper forms to appear on the primary ballot.  You have to win the primary to appear on November's ballot.  If you want my help contact me at david4delmont@gmail.com.

Please help Delmont and help me change the 6 to 1 odds. The community will thank you.
