2 Seek Lower Milford Supervisor Seat

Incumbent Mike Snovitch faces a challenge from Gail A. Hunsberger for a six-year term on the Lower Milford Board of Supervisors in Tuesday's primary.

Both are Republicans.

No Democrats are seeking their party's nod. So unless write-in candidates emerge for the November election, the primary could determine who ultimately takes the seat.

According to a Voters' Guide posted online by the League of Women's Voters:

—Snovitch, 66, is executive director of a Washington D.C.-based shipper organization. He is currently a township supervisor and had served on the planning commission as chairman.

—Hunsberger, 41, is a flight nurse and a safety officer for the Lower Milford Fire Company.

The primary is Tuesday.

Snovitch told the League of Women Voters that he is committed to maintaining the township's rural character and to being fiscally responsible.

Hunsberger told the league that the township needs to be more transparent in its workings and to better communicate with residents. That can be accomplished through use of technology and the township newsletter, she said.
