Wood and Maida received the following endorsements:

• State Senator Steve Santarsiero - “I am proud to endorse Dan Wood and Christina Maida for Doylestown Supervisors. Dan has been a leader with vision for Doylestown, working with me and Rep. Brennan to help secure state grants that have improved roads, parks and trails without burdening local taxpayers. And Christina will bring her fiscal management expertise to the Board of Supervisors, helping to keep Doylestown on a strong financial footing for years to come.”

• State Rep. Tim Brennan - “Doylestown Township deserves leaders that understand the community and are focused on moving the Township forward. Dan Wood and Christina Maida spent their lives here, raised their families here and are committed to improving our services and infrastructure, supporting our first responders and putting in the work necessary to solve any of the issues facing our suburban community. I am looking forward to working with them to make Doylestown Township an even better place to live, work and raise a family.”

I have found Dan to be thoughtful, responsible and hard-working. As a volunteer for Doylestown Township and other community organizations, Christina is always the first to raise her hand to help. She never fails to follow through on the promises that she’s made. She works hard every day as a mom, as a volunteer, and now, hopefully, on our Board of Supervisors.”
