Special Election - Tuesday, June 17th
Bill Thomas for State Representative
This is a reminder that there is a special election to fill the vacant 168th PA House seat on Tuesday, June 17th. Bill Thomas has been nominated as the Democratic candidate, having recieved a unanimous recommendation from the Democratic Parties of Delaware and Chester Counties. Once elected, Bill will help move Pennsylvania forward, and work with Governor Rendell to make this a better state.
There are only three weeks before June 17th and the campaign could use your help - before election day helping with phone banks, mailings, etc and on election day working the polls. Even if you do not live in this district, we need your help.
Anyone interested in volunteering with the Thomas for State Representative campaign is invited to a volunteer night Thursday, May 29 at 7:30PM at the Middletown Township Building on Pennell Rd. behind Weathers Dodge on Route 1. There will also be a 'Tea for Thomas' event to meet and talk with Bill Thomas between 2 and 5 pm on Saturday, May 31 at the home of Eleanor McDowell, 200 Cheyney Dr, West Chester, PA. (Cheyney Dr. abuts on 202 about half a mile north of Route 926, in Westtown). There will be refreshments, a silent auction, and possibly several other candidates from Delaware and Chester Counties. For more information on these events, email wthomas3@comcast.net, or telephone Bill at (610)565-4530 or Steve Wood at (610)566-4284.
Details on a debate between Bill and his Republican opponent will be forthcoming soon.

I truly believe that the only thing that keeps the Republicans in office in this county is a toxic mix of patronage, no show jobs, pay-to-play contracts and political dirty tricks. Because they certainly haven't done the job of running the county. They've loaded up a one-party council, judiciary, county service system and public works, and then sat back and enjoyed the fun for fifteen years. Well, I'm here to tell you that party's over.
--Dr. Paul Scoles, Candidate for County Council, at the annual FDR-JFK Dinner, May 8th
