Letter: Kampf has focused on education
To the Editor:
I want my elected leaders to focus on the issues that are important to me, and no issue is more important than education. State Representative Warren Kampf clearly has made this his priority too.
This year again, Warren Kampf supported a bipartisan budget that set a new record for the state’s commitment to education funding. I said “again” because he has actually voted for...
Letter: Proud of Kampf’s local focus
To The Editor,
I am very happy that Warren Kampf is my State Representative because he does a lot for the Borough of Phoenixville. Of course I am impressed and approve of his bipartisan work in Harrisburg on big issues ranging from education to government reform, but I am more grateful for what he does here at home. Not only is he a member of many local groups dedicated to improving our lives here...
Letter: Nothing but lies from Eric Roe
To The Editor,
In this election season, we’ve been inundated with lies from both parties at the top of the ticket. I had hoped that this local campaign would have been run on the issues, but that has not been the case. Today I am calling out my opponent Eric Roe for blatantly and repeatedly lying about my positions.
I have gone on record in newspapers as well as on my Facebook posts that I DID NOT support...
Letter: Sound says a lot about 156th candidates
To The Editor,
An Open Letter to Mayor Carolyn Comitta:
I listened to the WCHE debate yesterday between you and your opponent. Listening without seeing the candidates helps me hear nuances that sometimes are blurred with a visual. Here is what I heard:
A vibrant, intelligent, extremely well -prepared and energetic woman who has proven skills at getting people to work together to solve problems and...
Endorsements: Costello, Hartman & Meehan
Arguably, this is the most acrimonious campaign season in recent history, making it complicated to sort the fact from fiction and figure out who to support in this year’s local Congressional races.
We feel your pain. Our email boxes are constantly filled with breathless pronouncements with whatever counts for talking points in each of these races from both the campaigns, parties and third party groups...
Letter: Kampf has been a leader in creating jobs
To The Editor,
If you watch enough television you will see that every candidate talks about how they will help create jobs. But lost in all those ads is the fact that there is one man who has actually done just that: State Representative Warren Kampf.
Warren Kampf doesn’t just talk about supporting job creators. I’ve seen him with them, listen to them and then fight for the things they need to...
Democrats play their Trump card and hard
Ads start to go negative, too, shockingly
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
Last week, in this space I noted that Democratic candidates would be looking to staple their Republican opponents to GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump.
Based on a flurry of TV ads and mailers I’ve seen this week, I had it mostly right, except maybe the implement: Democrats are using a nail gun, and one has to wonder...
Letter: Republicans, you own this
To The Editor,
Donald Trump and Secretary Hillary Clinton faced off their final debate, and once again Mr. Trump found new ways to embarrass the Republican Party – and those in the Chester County Republican Committee and their candidates who have continued to endorse him.

Letter: Yaworski’s passing a loss for Downingtown, community
To The Editor,
Downingtown, Chester County and country lost a leader during the Labor Day weekend when Michael Yaworski died at the age of 92. He was one of the few remaining veterans of the U. S. Navy during World War II.
Mr. Yaworski served on the USS Arctic, which was a refrigeration supply ship assigned to the Pacific Theater fleet. He achieved the rank of Boatswain’s Mate and was a gunner captain...
Letter: It’s better out there than you think
To The Editor,
Who isn’t weary and disgusted by the national news? This election year is like nothing we’ve ever seen. It seems as if the news has a new, even more, outrageous story every hour. People are overwhelmed by the anger, political spin, and the hourly updates.
I have good news. It is better out there than the news would lead you to believe.
