After 10 years as a committee person I am honored to serve as zone leader for Brandywine Creek Democrats.  I am proud to be part of a team of hard working volunteers and committee people who serve our community.

In 2025 we face municipal elections which are all about our kitchen table issues. County row offices, school board directors, township offices, and judicial races matter and we must win them all. With Democrats holding those seats, we protect our communities from chaos from the current Washington administration and Republican state officials and judges. It’s also critically important that we vote to retain the three PA Supreme Court justices up for retention this year – pushing back against Republican lies about this court.

Your donations matter.  You may make a one-time donation or a sustaining one with our new ActBlue interface.

Please reach out if you have ideas and concerns. I look forward to serving as your zone leader and  meeting you at one of our monthly meetings or events.

Joanne Hill
Zone Leader, Brandywine Creek Democrats
