Dear Hatfield Resident: I am running for Commissioner in the 4th Ward for Hatfield Township. This year's primary race will be held on May 19, 2009, and voting will take place at Pennfield Middle School.

Those traits are not just the foundation for good government, but great government. So, let me simply and directly explain how I meet this standard. Am I good person? Many of you already know me from my involvement on the Hatfield Park Commission and the Hatfield Civil Service Commission and because I have coached numerous youth athletic teams in the Hatfield area. More recently, I have knocked on more than 300 residents' doors to discuss your concerns. While I will make every effort to meet as many residents as possible, I also established a website that you can visit in order to determine if I meet this standard. The website is http://www.zipfel09.com. Do I have the Township's best interest at heart? Clearly a person who volunteers his/her time has the community's best interest at heart. I have lived in Hatfield for almost 14 years and have been involved in various forms of community service such as:
I leave to you to determine if I meet the standard to be your next Commissioner. I truly appreciate your considering me for the position, and I encourage you to vote on May 19. |
