Emily Heinz, a production coordinator at Music Together LLC, is a Democrat also running for the position of Newtown Borough Councilor out of Ward 1. Amy Lustig, a high school English teacher and jewelry designer, is a Democrat running alongside Heinz out of Ward 1. They will be running against Republican candidates Paul Salvatore and Courtney Lang.

Julia W. Woldorf, a Bucks County physical therapist, is a Democrat seeking reelection for the position of Newtown Borough Councilor out of Ward 2. She will be running against Republican candidate Maryellen Raymond, Assistant Director of Admissions at Bucks County Community College.

Heinz is campaigning on updating the infrastructure of the town to make it more easy for travel and to decrease traffic in the area.

“We will need to get creative within the limited space we have by making crosswalks more visible, working with the police to curb speeding, and looking for ways to incentivize non-local traffic to use the bypass,” Heinz said.

Lustig is campaigning for similar goals.

“My primary interests lie in community building and participation and in bolstering an infrastructure that safely supports all those using our roads, sidewalks, and green spaces, particularly those enjoying the borough on foot and on bike,” Lustig said.

Woldorf is campaigning on retaining the charm of Newtown while improving infrastructure on roads and businesses.

“As the Borough updates its Comprehensive Plan, Open Space Plan, ordinances, and plans for infrastructure improvements, I intend to be focused on goals that support a thriving business district, maintain the integrity of historic resources, encourage the availability of a variety of housing stock, provide services for residents of all ages, preserve parks and open space, and ensure public safety,” Woldorf said.

Nov. 2 saw 476,127 registered voters have the opportunity to vote in person or on a mail-in ballot for district attorneys, school board members, and district judges.
