SANATOGA PA – Call him the campaign champ, the voter victor, the ‘lection leader (OK, so we’re stretching with that one). But no matter which roll-off-the-tongue moniker you prefer, recognize that Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Board of Commissioners’ Vice President Bruce Foltz on Tuesday (Nov. 8, 2011) was, again, the township’s top draw among candidates for election to public office.
Foltz, who at the start of 2012 will enter his 16th year as a member of the municipality’s governing body, attracted the highest vote count among four contenders vying for three open board seats. It’s an accomplishment he has achieved regularly in past elections, too.
In results deemed unofficial until certified by the Montgomery County Board of Elections, the all-Republican election winners were:
- Foltz, with 1,579 votes, or 32.78 percent of the total cast;
- Stephen Klotz – 1537, 31.91 percent; and
- Jonathan Spadt – 991, 20.97 percent.

Left without a chair when the figurative political music stopped playing was sole Democrat P.J. McGill, who had not filed to seek election but accepted a place on the ballot as a write-in candidate. He received 710 votes, or 14.74 percent.
The winners will be sworn into office during the board’s first meeting of January.

I would like to complement and THANK all of the folks from Lower Pottsgrove Township who came out to vote on election day.
I would especially like to thank those who honored me with their vote, as well as thank those who helped and assisted me prior to election day, and those who helped me at the polls on election day.
I also offer my congratulations to Mr. Foltz, Mr. Klotz and Mr. Spadt on their victory; and look forward to continuing to work with the LPT Commissioners through the coming years.
Respectfully,
P.J. McGill

P.J., thanks for caring enough about the township to become a candidate.
