Joel Buckley is the official Republican candidate for Township Supervisor in the November 3rd Election.

"The number one issue in the Conewago Supervisor election is controlling development."

For the past six years, Buckley has been Conewago's most outspoken critic of proposals to change zoning to allow more development in the rural township.
"The people of Conewago want to preserve its agricultural heritage."

Incumbent Galen Shelly has taken actions and pursued policies that promote more development.

• Shelly's proposed Comprehensive Plan would have rezoned hundreds and hundreds of acres of farmland along the township's main road for development.
  "Conewago residents reject Shelly's plan to turn Rt. 743 into another Rt. 39."

• Shelly created a township Sewer Authority, which extended sewer service to Rt. 743, making higher density development possible.
  
  
• Shelly, a big developer of commercial real estate in Conewago Township, has appointed real estate developers (including Ralph Luttrell) to township offices.
  Buckley says, "that's like having the foxes guarding the henhouse."

Buckley sees a groundswell in support for his campaign.
"Galen Shelly has disappointed a lot of people who voted for him last time.
People want a change."
