DEMOCRATS ENDORSED FOR TOWNSHIP SUPERVISORS
NEWTOWN, PA (February 27, 2007) – The Newtown Democratic Committee last evening endorsed two Newtown Township Planning Commission members as candidates for Board of Supervisors.

”Phil and Jerry,” Supervisors elected in November 2005, have begun to play an active role in Township government. Last night, two additional candidates were endorsed for several positions, including the two vacancies for Township Supervisor.

“We are proud to offer two very committed and highly qualified candidates for Newtown Township Supervisor,” said Newtown Democratic Committee Chair and Newtown Township Supervisor Phil Calabro when he introduced Dennis Fisher and Jay Sensibaugh. “The voters will have a real opportunity to continue the work we begun in 2005 to help residents be heard by their elected representatives.”

Fisher, 53, is a behavioral health professional and trainer. His family has lived in Newtown for 15 years, and he volunteers to support many church and professional groups, and has been appointed to the Newtown Township Planning Commission. “As supervisor I will work with the entire board to develop a proactive vision for Newtown Township which will provide for planned growth and needed services,” Fisher said. “I will bring my experience and skills in bringing together divergent viewpoints and truly collaborate to solve problems.”

Sensibaugh, 57, is a mechanical engineer and currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Newtown Township Planning Commission. He also has served the community as a youth sports coach, Scout leader, and as President of Newtown Crossing Community Association. Sensibaugh noted that while he grew up in the Midwest, he moved to Newtown to return to a county in which his family has roots going back six generations.

“I am committed to working with the entire community to preserve Newtown as a great place to live, work, worship and raise a family,” Sensibaugh said. “As supervisor I will serve with honesty, integrity and with concern for all people’s opinions as well as support a strong business community.”

The Primary Election will be held Tuesday, May 15, 2007.
