Why Vote in Municipal Elections?
When you think about elections, national and state races often get the spotlight. But the decisions that most directly shape your day-to-day life are made right here at the local level.
Local Stability in Uncertain Times
When the national political climate feels uncertain or divisive, voting locally gives you the power to make an immediate, tangible difference. While you can’t single-handedly control federal policy, you can help shape how your own community is governed—ensuring stability, accountability, and forward progress right where you live.
Direct Impact on Your Daily Life
Municipal government oversees the services you use every day—public safety, road maintenance, parks, zoning, trash collection, and more. Your vote determines who will make those decisions and how they’ll prioritize your needs.
Impact on Your Taxes
Your local commissioners set property tax rates and decide how that money is spent. From investing in community improvements to maintaining essential services, the way your tax dollars are managed has a direct effect on your wallet and your quality of life.
Impact on Our Community
Municipal elections shape the character of Upper Moreland—what kinds of businesses open here, how neighborhoods are developed, and how we preserve the charm and safety of our community.
Shared Values, Shared Future
Your vote helps ensure our leaders reflect the values we care about—whether that’s responsible growth, transparency, fiscal responsibility, or community engagement. Voting isn’t just about choosing a person—it’s about choosing the vision for the place we call home.
Why Vote for Sarah Byrnes?
I know Upper Moreland because I’ve been working for our community for years. As a current School Board Director, I’ve overseen budgets, evaluated policies, and made tough decisions to balance fiscal responsibility with quality services.
I’ve worked to ensure transparency, public engagement, and thoughtful planning in education—skills that directly translate to township governance. I understand how local government works, how to make it work better, and how to bring people together to solve problems.
In times when the national conversation feels unstable or out of reach, I believe in the power of steady, accountable local leadership. As your Township Commissioner, I will focus on the issues we can control—using our tax dollars wisely, keeping our neighborhoods safe, protecting our community’s character, and making sure local government remains open and responsive to residents.
If we share the vision of a transparent, responsible, and connected Upper Moreland, I would be honored to have your vote.
