Primary Day Recap in Haverford Township Elections
Tuesday, May 15, 2007 was Primary Election day in Haverford Township.
In the 7th Ward, it was a busy day, with an early start to the day for putting up signs at the polls, all the way to the final count.
Many people wished me luck in the election, but I was running unopposed in the Democratic primary. I guess it looked like there was a 3 way race, with so many lawn signs up for all candidates.
Many thanks to the Dem 7th ward leader and committee, and to all supporters who worked at the polls throughout the day handing out literature. There was complete coverage from 7 AM to 8 PM. Thanks to the supporters who took down all of my lawn signs. Also thanks to the people who worked inside as the election board staff, who worked hard to make things run correctly.
Congratulations to incumbent Commissioner Jim McGarrity for his win in the 7th Ward Republican primary, defeating Tom Thornton. Mr. Thornton ran a good campaign and it made for a busy 7th Ward in the weeks leading up to the primary. There were times when I crossed paths with both McGarrity and Thornton as we were knocking on doors.
There was an incident of note on primary election day. Commissioner McGarrity was involved in an altercation with a resident at the 7-2 polling place, Annuciation Church, and the Haverford Police were called to investigate. While my campaign will focus on the positive things that I can do as Commissioner, I'm again disturbed that another embarassing incident involving an elected official ended up in the newspapers. It's time for a change!
Finally, congratulations to Haverford's Ann O'Keefe, who was one of the 3 winners in the Democratic primary for Delaware County Council. Way to go Ann!
