Tim Defoor is our current Auditor General. He is seeking re-election. With over 25 years of combined experience in law enforcement and auditing, in both public service and private industries, Tim is uniquely qualified to serve Pennsylvania citizens on day one.

Tim’s not a career politician and he’s tired of politics-as-usual in Harrisburg. Tim will work to end political loopholes like the “honor system” that allows state agencies to keep high-dollar, taxpayer funded contracts hidden from the public, so we know where our tax dollars are being spent. 

Stacy Garrity is our current Treasurer. She is seeking re-election. While serving in the U.S. Army Reserve, Stacy started work as a cost accountant at Global Tungsten & Powders Corp., a global supplier of refractory powders, and worked her way up to become the first of two female vice presidents. She also serves on the board of Bradford County United Way and is a trustee of Guthrie Hospital.

Education, Service, and Leadership are not just campaign slogans for Neil – they are the guiding principles that have defined his career and life. What are his top issues? Neil is most concerned about the border crisis, record inflation, and this country's disastrous foreign policy!

Duane believes governments must understand that “their” money belongs to the taxpayers and must practice the highest standards of fiscal responsibility. Respect for law and order must be demanded and instilled as a core value of our country. Strategic economic development must be pursued to attract and retain employers of choice for our residents. Smart land development principles coupled with open space and conservation initiatives must characterize the future growth path of Chester County. The opportunity for an excellent education must be the expectation and foundation for all students, regardless of background.
