Horsham Township Swears In New Councilman

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —Horsham Township has a new municipal government representative.

At the Horsham Township Council meeting on Wednesday, Republican Eric Glemser was officially sworn in as our newest council member, replacing Councilwoman Theresa Harmon, who moved from the township.

Glemser was sworn in by District Justice Todd Stephens, the former state representative for the township.

"Please join us in welcoming and congratulating Eric," township officials said. "We look forward to the positive impact he will make as a part of our team."

Glemser was nominated by the Republican party to replace Harmon, who resigned in late August after serving three years on the council.

But his appointment was delayed because Republicans could not get a majority council vote. The decision had to go before the township's vacancy board before Glemser could join the council.

Council President William Whiteside and Council Vice President Sean Wade voted yes, but Democrat Ellen Zschunke voted against the measure. Democrat Samantha Slaff did not attend the meeting but would have voted along party lines.

The vacancy board is made up of the four council members and Chairman Anthony Spangler.
