John Mack, Community Contributor

I have been a resident of Newtown Township since 1995 and a Newtown Supervisor from October 2017 though December 2025 (8 years). 2026 marks the close of my time serving as a Supervisor, and I want to use this moment to express my deep gratitude to the residents of this community. It has truly been an honor to serve you, to be your voice on as a Supervisor, and to work every day with the belief that local government functions best when it is transparent, accountable, and open to the people it represents.

From the very beginning, I made a commitment to keep residents informed. Whether through public meetings, reports, newsletters, social media updates, or my “Meet Mack Monday” discussions, my goal was always the same: to make sure you knew what was happening in your government before decisions were made—not after. An engaged and informed public strengthens every action we take as a township.

I am proud of the role I played in advocating for a more open, participatory government—one where documents are accessible, discussions are public, and residents are encouraged to weigh in. I’ve always believed that democracy is not a spectator sport, and I am grateful to all the residents who showed up, asked questions, shared ideas, and helped push our township toward better practices.

As I step away from the dais, I’m not stepping away from Newtown. I will continue to support transparency, good governance, and resident involvement in every way I can. My hope is that the work we do together continues to strengthen the connection between the governing Board and the public it serves.
