Frank Daly

A Message from Frank Daly for Judge
Dear Fellow Democrats,
As many of you know, May 15th is an important Primary Election. Not only is the Act 1 tax referendum going to affect all of Delaware County’s residents, but also for the first time in 218 years a Democrat can win a county Judge seat.
For years the Republican Party has choked Delaware County with a stranglehold stemming from control of the courts, solicitor offices, and more, and without your help they will continue to do so!
For far too long the party bosses have picked the Judges of Delaware County with little regard for qualifications. This practice must be stopped! It’s time to elect qualified people into office who care about Judicial Integrity and Judicial Independence!
In this particular election, cross-filing is permissible, so several Republicans are on the Democratic ticket.
Frank Daly and Michael Farrell are the two Democrats on the May 15th Ballot. They can be found at A-14 and A-15 on the Democratic line.
Media is one of the few municipalities run by Democrats. Frank Daly was Mayor of Media from 1982 to 1992 and then solicitor and current President of the Media Borough Council. With the help of many hardworking people, Media has become a better place to live. Frank Daly would like to continue that service to the community as a Court Judge. With your help, it can be possible.
So, I write to you, fellow Democrats, to support Frank Daly and Michael Farrell this May 15th. Every vote is important and every vote counts!
Please, look at our website, http://www.frankdalyforjudge.com to find out more about Frank Daly and ways to help the campaign.
Sincerely,
Joseph Patrick O’Brien, Esq.Chairman

On a smaller Legislature

From The Evening Bulletin.

"Mention hasn't even been made of how a smaller legislature will naturally mean even more money in our political process. After all, a larger district will necessarily require more money in order to promote a candidate, thus leading to more expensive and extravagant campaigns. Brightbill spent roughly a million dollars in his bid to retain his state Senate seat last year; how much more would have been spent had the 48th district been just 20 percent larger? And what of all of those nefarious lobbyists floating around Harrisburg? Would not a small legislature automatically mean more money to buy fewer votes? If anything, a smaller Pennsylvania legislature would be a lobbyist's fantasy come true!"
