WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — Warminster Township Supervisor Judy Hoover is saying goodbye to residents as her six-year tenure gets set to end.

Hoover, who did not seek re-election, attended her final meeting as secretary and member of the Warminster Township Board of Supervisors last week in service dedicated to strengthening the township's financial stability and professional operations.

"Serving as Supervisor has been one of the greatest honors of my life," Hoover said. "I thank the residents for voting for me and trusting in me."

During her tenure, Hoover witnessed significant improvements in township operations and finances. When first elected in 2019, the township faced considerable financial challenges.

Under her leadership and that of Supervisors Board Chairman Ken Hayes, the township evolved into a more professionally managed organization with enhanced fiscal stability.

Among the key decisions during Hoover's term was the sale of storm drain management services to the Municipal Water Authority, which she called "the right decision for bringing financial stability and greater expertise to serve residents."

She also saw Five Ponds Golf Course transition from operating at a loss to profitability under new, professional management.

Hoover particularly praised Library Director Peter Lehu, calling him "extremely professional" and "the best library director the township has ever had."

Hoover plans to remain involved with the library community in her retirement.

Her advice to the incoming 2026 board is to support newly elected Supervisor Mary Owens and to "keep pushing for financial stability" while examining everything closely to continue improving services for residents."

Hoover brought extensive public service experience to her work, serving part-time in State Rep. Brian Munroe's office, assisting residents throughout the 144th legislative district. Her professional
background included serving as the real property evaluator for the City of Philadelphia and the legislative coordinator for AFSCME District Council 47, roles that helped her "recognize and empathize with residents" and become "more accepting of all different people and points of view."

Hoover was also honored with proclamations from U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, State Rep. Brian Munroe, State Sen. Frank Farry, and the Board of Supervisors, in recognition of her service.

Hoover, who lives in the township with her two grandchildren, will continue her community
involvement with the Friends of the Library, Friends of the Parks, and other township non-profit
organizations.
