Midterms 2022: Democracy Remains Unsettlingly Fragile
Haverford Township is one of the most pivotal voting districts in Pennsylvania and perhaps the whole country in this year’s midterm elections. We deliver the most Democratic votes in Delaware County, Delco delivers a huge share of Democratic votes for the state, and our state is one of the most important for increasing our Democratic majorities in the Senate and beyond.
