âWe need help to get our Democratic candidates from School Board to the PA Supreme Court on the ballot. 2023 is a vital election year here in Doylestown as we can flip the Township Board of Supervisors for the first time ever and potentially flip the Central Bucks School Board,â said Connor OâHanlon, chair of the Doylestown Democrats and host of the Greater Society Podcast.
By utilizing a âdrive and signâ model, the Doylestown Democrats have incorporated ease into supporting candidates for the upcoming May primary election by removing stumbling blocks â such as parking and weather â from interfering with the signature gathering process.
