Policy Positions

Middletown Township Economy

The Middletown Township Republican Committee is dedicated to supporting local small businesses in our community. We believe it should be a priority to attract new businesses to our area with transportation and infrastructure improvements and pro-business policies. One of the ways we do this is by keeping taxes low and making sure Middletown Township taxpayers receive an excellent return on their investment.

Two examples of our dedication to keeping taxes lower:

  • No property tax increases in 23 of the last 24 years in Middletown Township.
  • Among the lowest property tax rates locally—6th lowest of 49 municipalities in Delaware County—with no earned income tax.

Education in Middletown Township

We believe quality education is a must. It is our duty to ensure that the children of Middletown Township have access to the best education available in our public schools. We also believe that parents should have a voice in how our schools operate.

We feel the Rose Tree Media School Board should have an open dialogue with parents in our community. In our view, the role of our public schools is to not only educate our children and prepare them for the future—but to protect impressionable young minds.

Law Enforcement and Public Safety

  • Leadership & Funding: Hired a full-time Public Safety Director/Fire Chief and increased funding to Middletown & Rocky Run Fire Companies by $50,000.
  • Volunteer Support: Established a $40,000 Volunteer Firefighter incentive program to strengthen local fire services.
  • Grant Secured: Received a $50,000 FEMA SAFER grant to assess volunteer staffing needs.
  • Equipment Upgrades: Purchased replacement fire trucks for both township fire companies.

Public Works and Transportation

We take a proactive approach to public works and transportation needs in our community. We’re more than willing to roll up our sleeves and get to work rather than wait for problems to develop, or delay action until the state can get involved. Republican town council leadership has demonstrated this on many occasions, including:

  • Proactive Traffic Solutions: Rather than waiting for PennDOT, Middletown Council funded and engineered a 'loop road' at 452 & 1, easing congestion a decade ahead of schedule.
  • Roosevelt School Revitalization: The once-declining 1921 building is now a community center, home to the Middletown Free Library, and public parkland.
  • Recognized Urban Planning: Former Councilman Scott Galloway earned the 2019 Governor's Award for Local Government Excellence for Middletown’s smart growth strategies.
