Democrats Win Supervisor Seats, GOP Holds Tax Collector Seat In Middletown

Two Democrats will join the Middletown Township Board of Supervisors in the new year.

Ryan Leighton and Christian Gallardo Sr., both Democrats, defeated Republican challengers Tom Magdelinskas and Lisa Leedom for the supervisor seats.

The vacancies were created by Supervisor Dawn Quirple choosing not to seek reelection and the death of Supervisor Anna Payne.

The new members will join the board in the new year.

In other contested races, the outcome for tax collector was a tight victory for the Republican incumbent.

Ray Chapman, the current tax collector and a Republican, fended off a challenge from Democrat Susan Corcoran to retain his seat.

Democrat David Tilli won the six-year township auditor term, besting Republican Rob Rudy. Rudy is a former member of the Neshaminy School Board.
