Newtown Democrats Holding Feb. 11 Rally

Newtown Democrats will be holding a rally Feb. 11 at The Temperance House. All of the declared Democratic Party candidates for the 8th Congressional District and Pennsylvania Senate and House districts that represent Newtown will be featured speakers at the event, which will be held from 1 to 4 p.m.

Speakers who have accepted the invitation include Steve Bacher, Rachel Reddick and Scott Wallace, all of whom have announced their candidacies for the 8th Congressional District. Perry Warren, who is running for re-election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 31st Legislative District, will be there, too. Fisher said a soon-to-be-announced candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate 10th District will also appear at the event.

“This is a great opportunity for Newtown residents to meet the candidates and to find out what they can do to continue the historic successes Democratic candidates achieved in the 2017 elections,” said Dennis Fisher, chairperson of the Newtown Democrats.

Democratic members of the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors and Newtown Borough Council will be there to describe the their plans and goals.

Democrats say they are hoping to keep the momentum going from November's election, when they won four of five contested Bucks County line offices, the first in more than 30 years. Local democrats also won majorities on both the Newtown Borough Council and Newtown Township Board of Supervisors.

Registration is free, but admission is limited to the first 150 people who register by calling the Newtown Democrats at 215-310-5007 or by email to NewtownDems@hotmail.com.
