I have lived in Mifflin County most of my life. As a member of our community, I have been self-employed business person and have had business dealing with other business associates. One of the people I have become acquainted with is Kay Semler.
Kay Semler is dedicated to whatever project she has pursued. A good example is her involvement with the Reedsville Community Association, where she helped organize the Reedsville Community Day, Apple Festival, and was instrumental in the downtown beautification projects.
Kay's energy is limitless, as she serves the Mifflin County Planning Commission, MCIDA Board of Directors and the Mifflin County Tax Appeal Board. She has generously devoted her time volunteering for The Big Valley Thrift and Gift, Meals on Wheels and the Geisinger Out-Patient Surgery Center.
Kay Semler has demonstrated and devoted a life of service to the community. I will support her in her pursuit of Brown Township Supervisor on May 16.

I am writing to provide my highest endorsement of Jonathan Reed in his candidacy for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. As a lifelong resident of Mifflin County, I have known Jonathan for over thirty years. Throughout our decades-long friendship, I have witnessed his progression from a young man with high ideals into a grown man with the capacity and commitment to benefit his community. Jonathan has devoted nearly his entire professional career to the betterment of society, from early days as a juvenile probation officer assisting young folks to his current position as a Magisterial District Judge. His tireless work ethic and unwavering decision to the law have made a positive impact in each position along the way. Jonathan is also well known for his volunteer service in the community. Unlike other candidates, Jonathan has eight years of demonstrated experience in the office of judge. During this time, he and his office have processed over 16,500 cases while receiving continual recognition from the state for exemplary adherence to required policies and procedures. In addition to his upstanding character and dedication to the community, this proven judicial record is a vital foundation for the position of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. If elected, Jonathan Reed will provide Mifflin County with the personal integrity and proficiency that the role requires as he carries out his judicial responsibilities with fairness and impartiality. We need this kind of individual in our elected positions.
Vote Jonathan Reed for Judge on May 16th.

Tammy Stuck is running for re-election as Mifflin County Prothonotary and she is the best candidate without question. I am an attorney with a multi-county practice and I have always found Tammy to be knowledgeable, well-organized, and professional, while still maintaining a personal and friendly style. Her attention to detail and care for the official records for which she is responsible is without question. Her appreciation and understanding for the people who come to her office (many of whom are there at the lowest point of their lives) is a testament to her character. Her office staff is well-trained and efficient under her tenure as your current Prothonotary. These are all traits that are proven to work for the citizens of Mifflin County during Tammy's tenure and I would expect them to continue when she is re-elected. My family will be voting for Tammy Stuck and so should you.

Mifflin County will soon vote on candidates for judge of the Court of Common Pleas. My nephew, Jonathan Reed, is a candidate. I have substantial ties to Mifflin County so I hope that allows me in this endorsement.
I graduated from Lewistown High School. My parents owned and operated the Dairy Queen store. At one time, I was the Assistant District Attorney and eventually the Mifflin County Solicitor. I want the people of Mifflin County to know at least four (4) things about Jonathan Reed.
1. He is genuinely committed to the Mifflin County community. He demonstrates this by actively serving with the Lewistown Kiwanis Club, sitting on various boards and participating in fundraisers like the YMCA's Polar Plunge, even when he is not a candidate.
2. He has a legitimate conservative philosophy. It's not just a campaign slogan; it is his heart.
3. Jon is passionate and single minded about being a trial judge. He will have no side businesses or distracting interests.
4. He will be obligated to no one. He will not even accept campaign contributions because he wants no appearance of favoritism.
