Election Results

It was a good day for Democrats and good day for open space. Democrats have taken the House by a whopping 27 seats, leading to the first female Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California. Two very close races in Montana and Virginia determine who controls the Senate. Democrats have gained 4 seats, and need to win both seats to gain control.

All of the open space questions were passed in: Lower Saucon Township, New Hanover Township, Upper Dublin Township, Upper Pottsgrove Township, Whitemarsh Township, Springfield Township, Warwick Township, and Wrightstown Township. That's good news for local young professionals who have proclaimed open space as one of their top priorities in moving forward with smart growth in this area.
