Mossie Wins Upper Providence Township Race

Republican Lisa A. Mossie’s improbable run for a seat on the Upper Providence Township Board of Supervisors came full circle Tuesday night with a victory over Democrat George T. Faris IV.

With 100 percent of the votes in, Mossie received 1,797 votes for 58.73 percent while Faris garnered 1,263 votes and 41.27 percent.

“I would say this was an unprecedented campaign,” Mossie said Tuesday night from her victory celebration. “I am really proud of our campaign. We remained positive and I think it paid off.”

Mossie’s bid for a seat on the board started with a stunning victory in the Republican primary when she defeated current board chairman Robert Fieo. She then followed that up with Tuesday night’s victory and will join Philip A. Baker and John F. Pearson on the three-person board.

Fieo served on the board for two terms.

Mossie said Tuesday night she thinks her stance as a fiscal conservative caught on with voters and she “is someone who is going to listen to what the people want.”
