Current Occupation: Former elected official and non-profit director
Public Service: Served on the Yardley Borough Council and later as first deputy director for former U.S. Congressman Michael Fitzpatrick; Worked with State Sen. Steve Santarsiero to pass legislation recognizing May as Skin Cancer Awareness Month.
Community Involvement: Mihalek has lobbied for pedestrian safety improvements at a mid-block crosswalk at Tara Boulevard and Newtown-Yardley Road. She enlisted residents from her development, engaged the police department, and successfully lobbied the township to have the speed limit lowered.
Key Issues: Mihalek and McGonigal are running together on a “For A Better Newtown” platform and against “secret agendas.” She collaborated with Bucks County 9/11 families to have two Pennsylvania laws enacted, one designating the Garden of Reflection in Lower Makefield as Pennsylvania’s official state 9/11 memorial and the other that mandated 9/11 as a day of reflection for schools in Pennsylvania.
Mihalek was also instrumental in pushing forward “Right To Try” legislation on the national level, which was signed into law during President’s Trump first term in office.
