2026 - An Important Year on Many Levels
Dear Wrightstown Voters,
Thank you once again for the outstanding support this past November! Municipal Elections typically generate poor turnout, but 2025 was an exception for Wrightstown Republicans and Wrightstown voters in general. Recent Municipal elections have generated voter turnout in the mid 30% range. In November, 58% of Wrightstown voters cast their votes - 44% by mail.
60% of Wrightstown Republicans voted - 42% casting their ballots by mail.
67% of Wrightstown Democrats voted - 50% by mail.
As voting by mail becomes an integral part of our elections, it’s obvious that it fundamentally changes election math. The difference in turnout could have been completely erased if we’d had 8% more republicans go from no-shows to mail voters. The good news is that our advantage in registration meant that Republicans accounted for 51% of the votes cast in Wrightstown vs 36% for Democrats.
For the 2026 cycle our goal is to maintain or increase our registration advantage AND win the turnout battle in order to maximize the impact of Wrightstown Republican voters. We saw in November that the poor turnout county-wide hurt us badly in the row officer races but we swept the board in our Wrightstown offices and nearly pulled off a major upset in the school board election.
This year, if we meet our goals, we can go a long way to ensuring that Kristin Marcell and Frank Farry continue to represent us in Harrisburg. That’s Wrightstown making a difference!
Let’s establish the habit by participating in the Primary process in preparation for the main event in November. This will energize our registration efforts and help our fellow Republicans make a plan to vote - be it by mail or at the polls. A good start would be to join us for our Pizza & Petitions event on February 21st at Dominick’s Pizza. In addition to sharing pizza, signing and visiting with like-minded neighbors, you can meet your candidates and share your thoughts and ideas.
You can also consider joining our growing ranks of volunteers. The enthusiasm of our 2025 team of volunteers was gratifying - and fun to be a part of. Follow this “Contact” link to let us know you are interested.
Our strong turnout in the last election resulted from extensive outreach to our voters using a variety of tools. While we pride ourselves as being a low cost committee, our activities require a few dollars for us to email and/or print and mail information. Please consider making a modest contribution to our committee by clicking here to make an on-line donation. You’d be surprised how much good a $20 donation can do! This will enable us to keep you informed and provide everything you need to cast your vote. We do promise not to “overload” your email or postal mail box!

Thanks again,
