A New Year, A New Election Cycle

Dear Wrightstown Voters,

Thank you for the outstanding support in November!

  • 92% of Wrightstown Republicans voted - half casting their ballots by mail!

  • We learned voting by mail works to drive turnout.

  • We saw that who we elect locally matters greatly in conducting fair elections.

  • We need the same level of enthusiasm in 2025 to maintain our momentum.

  • This year we have many important races.

    • We will elect judges for Bucks County and the State Supreme Court.

    • For Bucks County, we will also be electing the District Attorney, Sheriff, Recorder of Deeds, Controller and Prothonotary.

    • In Wrightstown we will be electing a Supervisor, Tax Collector, Auditor, Judge of Elections and Election Inspectors.

    • For Council Rock School Board, we have one contested seat.

Dear Wrightstown Voters,

The 2024 Election provided many lessons. Among therm:

  • Voting by mail drives voter turnout. 92% of Wrightstown Republicans voted - half of them by mail!

  • We saw that who we elect locally matters greatly in conducting fair elections

  • We will need the same level of enthusiasm in the 2025 Municipal Elections to maintain the great momentum we built

This year there will be many important races: Wrightstown Supervisor, Auditor, Tax Collector, Recorder of Deeds, Prothonotary, CRSD School Board, Judgeships and District Attorney will all be on the ballot. It is important for us to win these elections if we want to continue on the path we chose with the 2024 election results.

You can do a few things to get us started.

  • Get an early start and apply for your mail ballot now (just follow this link).

  • Consider making a modest contribution to our committee. Our results last year were driven by intensive voter outreach through a variety of media and methods. While we run a pretty tight ship, it does take a bit of cash to make it all happen. Click here to make an on-line donation. You’d be surprised how much good a $20 donation can do!

As Goes Wrightstown, So Goes the Nation

Dear Wrightstown Voters,

Okay, so they probably won’t be saying this in future elections. And while I don’t think we can add any more to the story of this historic election, we did want to take a moment to thank you and share a bit on how strongly Wrightstown came through.

As you probably know from the mailers, emails, texts and knocks on your door, the Wrightstown GOP Committee volunteers were out in force.  We had many people join the ranks of volunteers - and more keep coming.  Our single-minded focus was to maximize our turnout through all available means of voting. Boy did you respond!  The enthusiasm we encountered when speaking with our voters – not to mention fulfilling sign requests – further fueled our efforts.

So how did we do? Well for starters, nearly half of you voted by mail.  That made the day at the polls much more manageable by not subjecting voters to long lines. More importantly,  it meant we did not needlessly lose votes to the last minute emergencies that inevitably arise. 

That resulted in over 90%* Republican turnout! Bucks County needed every single one of them to Turn Bucks Red.

 So thank you for your commitment and support and know that you made a difference!

*Note: Because we live here, our voter list is a bit more current that the official rolls - which will catch up.  Therefore, our numbers may be a bit different than what the county ultimately publishes.  But trust us- we got it right!

SUPPORT THE TICKET - VOTE RED

We hope you will vote for the entire Republican ticket this November 5th, and here’s why.

Since Donald Trump‘s opponent has declared that she would change nothing of significance from Joe Biden‘s policy, we can easily compare the results of the two administrations.

If you want a completely open border, spiraling crime, compound inflation over 20%, stagnant wages, continued expansion of the federal bureaucracy, ineptitude in foreign affairs and military response (e.g., Afghanistan pull out), then Donald Trump may not be your candidate.

But for all his lack of style points, Trump is committed to restoring law and order, stopping the invasion, unleashing energy resources to significantly grow the economy and decrease inflation, rebuild our manufacturing base, ensure the dollar remains the current world currency, and will do all he can to stop these wars.

Now for the down ballot. In order to effectively legislate in Washington or Harrisburg, it is necessary to elect the whole team. Here are the reasons to vote for our other capable candidates.

Dave McCormick’s experience in the military, the US treasury department, as an incredibly successful businessman with a deep understanding of finance and global economics uniquely positions him to serve as Pennsylvania’s US Senator. We need smart, experienced leaders in the US Senate who can get results in Washington. Dave fits these criteria.

Brian Fitzpatrick, our US congressman has served our community and applies his expertise as a former FBI special agent and federal prosecutor who fights both domestic and international corruption, terrorism and crime. He is hard-working as he strives to understand both sides of important issues in service to Bucks County.

Dave Sunday is currently the district attorney for York County who has reduced crime by 30% and has achieved the lowest recidivism rate. He is a US Navy veteran, a top litigator who leads a team of prosecutors and investigations, for approximately 9000 cases annually. His opponent has never prosecuted a single case. Sunday is the best choice for PA Attorney General.

Stacy Garrity is the current PA Treasurer with an outstanding record of returning monies owed to Pennsylvanians, modernizing the office and providing fiscal stewardship. Her opponent is considered so unqualified even the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania has not endorsed their candidate.

Tim Defoor is the current PA Auditor General who delivers fiscal accountability with audit reviews for Pennsylvania departments and conducts fraud investigations. His opponent is not even a certified auditor. Like the Attorney General, there are some row positions where the leader of the department must understand the technical details of the job to lead it effectively.

Kristin Marcell represents Wrightstown in the PA General Assembly. She has a focus on the well-being of children, families and seniors in her decision-making. She was endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police as well as the US Chamber of Commerce. Kristin is continually working in the community to understand the concerns and priorities of her constituents to represent their views in Harrisburg.

If you choose to vote early with a Mail Ballot, we encourage you to apply today online:

PA Voter Services On-line Mail Ballot Application

The deadline to apply for a Mail Ballot (or absentee ballot) is Tuesday, October 29 by 5PM. Voting by mail means that you don’t need to stand in long lines on election day or brave weather conditions. If you have applied for a mail ballot, thank you for doing so, please return it immediately.

If you are unhappy about the direction of this country, it’s essential you get out and vote.

If you’re not voting early, we will see you at the polls on Tuesday, November 5. Polls open at 7AM and close promptly at 8PM.

FEBRUARY 2024

Yes, we lost control of the Pennsylvania General Assembly once again.

On Tuesday February 13, there was a special election to fill the PA House seat for the 140th District, just down in Falls Township, Bucks County.  While this has been a Democratic stronghold, we’ve seen Republicans getting stronger.  We had hoped that the Republican candidate would be able to win the seat in the PA House of Representatives allowing control to swing back to Republicans.

The Republican candidate lost. Why?  BECAUSE TOO MANY REPUBLICANS CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT MAIL-IN BALLOTING CANNOT BE TRUSTED (sorry to shout). The result?  The Democratic candidate started the day with 3100 mail-in votes, while the Republican had only 571.  In the end, not enough Republican voters came to the polls because of a freak snow storm that Tuesday.  The Democrat won by 3400 votes with only 23% voter participation.

It is easy to say that Falls Township leans Democratic.  What if we told you there were more than 13,400 registered Republican voters that could have participated that Tuesday.  If more Republicans had voted by mail and not been discouraged by the weather, we could have won!

Even in Wrightstown last November we had 100 key voters who voted in every primary and general elections for the past 5 years not vote because they had an understandable personal problem which kept them away on election day.  We really wish they could have voted by mail.

Voter turnout is key to winning elections.  This year we have elections we cannot just “hope to win” on chance.  We need to make sure that every Republican votes in the Primary and General elections. 

What is at stake?

President – Saying goodbye to President Biden and electing a Republican, returning to sanity in our immigration process and getting spending under control.

US Senate – Supporting Dave McCormick in his race against Casey.  We need to win back this seat to take control from Chuck Schumer.

US House – Ensuring that Bucks County continues to elect a Republican in what is a very purple district. If we lose this seat, not only do we narrow the Republican margin but stand to lose control of the House itself.

PA House – Helping Kristin Marcell prevail to represent Wrightstown, Northampton and portions of Warwick.  We need to do our part to keep that seat Republican.

No matter what you see on TV or read on the internet, the facts are that mail-in voting here in Bucks County is safe and secure, and using it wins elections.  Mail-In Voting Decides Elections, and in township after township, the false narrative believed by too many Republicans that mail-in voting can't be trusted is costing Republicans elections.  In fact, the conservative publication “the FEDERALIST” agrees. See their article on our Wrightstown GOP website. Click here to read article.

When using a Mail-In Ballot, we recommend that you drop off your ballot at a Post Office with an open lobby (Penns Park, Newtown, Wycombe, Furlong) to avoid theft.  You can also drop off your ballot at several monitored drop off locations which includes the Northampton Library or the County Administration Building.  When dropping off in person, you may only carry your own ballot.  Dropping off multiple ballots will result in the drop off location being temporarily closed and the ballots segregated for review by the Board of Elections.

Let's make 2024 different - Click on the button below (or follow the link on our home page) to apply for and track your mail ballot. Do it today and get your friends and family to do it too!

General Election: Tuesday, November 5
