Butler and Dan Boyle in a record-setting municipal election that was marred by a vicious personal attack mailer orchestrated by the opposition (read "Vicious Politics Comes to Newtown Township!").

"As I stopped at each polling place during the day, I was pleasantly surprised by the constant stream of voters," said John Mack. "It was sometimes difficult to gauge who voters were going to choose as they walked through the doors," said Dennis Fisher. It is estimated that nearly 5,800 Newtown Township residents voted this year compared to about 4,860 in 2017. This may be a record turnout.
A Positive Political Campaign Prevailed!
While the opposition wallowed in vicious personal attacks - especially against John Mack - the Fisher & Mack campaign fulfilled its pledge to run an ethical, issues-based campaign without stooping to the level of their Republican opponents who chose to go negative.
