Elen Snyder Announces Re-Election Bid For Newtown Township Supervisor

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Elen Snyder has announced her bid for re-election to the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors.

Snyder, a Democrat and a six-year resident of Newtown Township, is a member of the board’s Democratic 4-to-1 majority. She won election to a two year seat in 2021.

During her first term Snyder successfully assisted in negotiating an agreement between the township and the borough to ensure that both will have adequate fire coverage coordination for years to come. Snyder also serves as a member of the newly formed fire commission that constantly monitors the agreement and is committed to fire services that includes the retention and expansion of paid firefighters.

“I support the rezoning and revitalization of the Newtown Business Commons to attract more businesses and revenue to the township,” Snyder said. “There’s an opportunity to take a portion of our township that is underused and direct smart growth there.”

A lifelong environmentalist, Snyder has ushered in a vision for the future that includes a ‘Resolution for the Reduction of the use of Single Use Plastics’ which was passed unanimously by the township supervisors. Additionally, she created ‘Friends of Roberts Ridge Park’ that preserves open space for the community.

A board member of the Newtown Joint Municipal Authority, Snyder said she will continue to listen to members of the community on all issues to ensure that the quality of life of Newtown residents remains her top priority.
