Thank You!

I wanted to take a moment and express my appreciation for all the people who voted for me in the General Election. I am very humbled!

It was an honor to meet all the wonderful people of Forks Township and discuss the future of our community. Many people have asked whether I am going to stay involved in township activities. The answer is yes!

I truly believe we shaped the debate about our future. I will continue to advocate for true open government, lean spending, and green spaces. As I have stated, these ideas are not just campaign slogans, but a new and better way to manage our township.

In the coming months, the township is facing many critical issues that shape our future. We will be updating the Comprehensive Plan, approving the 2008 budget, continuing the Kings Mill litigation, and making appointments to the Planning Commission and the Zoning Hearing Board.

It is very important to stay involved in township decision making and speak out on critical topics. Only together can we do better!

Sincerely,


David Billings

Chuss and Egolf - Winners in Forks!

The unofficial tally is in and Erik Chuss and Bob Egolf are to be the newest Forks Supervisors.  Congratulations to both fine candidates.  You worked hard and long to gain the trust of Forks voters. 

The four Forks Supervisor candidates waged some of the cleanest campaigns ever seen.  It was truly a race among the good guys.  It's too bad for Forks Township that only two candidates could win.

Who will get your votes on Tuesday?

In less than one week - on Tuesday, November 6th - you will be making important choices at the polls.  Your votes for two Supervisors will decide the path of Forks for the next six years.  Just two of the four candidates will be elected Forks Supervisors. 

Some voters have met all four candidates and already know who will receive their votes.  Others have not yet decided.  FAC has tried to make it easier for you.  If you are among the undecided, please check out the following resources on the candidates:

This is an important election for Forks Township.  Two current Supervisors are being replaced.  Four good candidates (from among your friends and neighbors) are vying for the two vacancies.  These are tough choices.  You will do all of us a service if you go to the polls as informed voters. 

In the May Primary, two of the six candidates lost by only a few votes - proving that every vote really counts. 

Don't stay home on Election Day, November 6^{th --} vote for Forksʼ future.
