Bensalem Democrats Elect New Leaders

On June 18, the Bensalem Democratic Organization held its reorganization meeting and elected a new executive board.

According to a release, the party elected longtime member Joseph Cummons as its new party chairperson to lead local Democrats for the next two years.

Democrats also elected former school board member Joyce Hadley as its vice chairperson; Kathleen Sullivan as secretary; and Bob Heller to a second term as party treasurer.

The release stated that Cummons has been a member and local committeeperson since 2002 having recently served as the organization’s secretary. He believes Bensalem needs a government that is represented by all political affiliations, not just one party. He looks forward to this year’s presidential election and next year’s local election where voters will elect a new mayor, new members of council and school board.

The Bensalem Democratic Organization holds it monthly meetings on the third Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Bensalem Public Library. All registered democratic voters are welcome to attend the monthly meetings and consider joining the organization as a member/or committeeperson.
