Chairman's Commentary on Alex Charlton
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Alex Charlton delivers for Radnor, and, more than any of our other deserving candidates on the ballot next week, he has earned your vote on November 6. Alex has delivered increased state funding for Radnor schools while also passing legislation that has made our schools safer. Alex is working hard to deliver meaningful state funding for multiple projects in Radnor under the State’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP). As an experienced legislator and former Chamber of Commerce executive, Alex has the tools to continue to deliver results for his constituents in Radnor.
I strongly encourage you to mark your calendars for November 6 and invest a few minutes to vote for Alex. He will continue to deliver results for Radnor in the Pennsylvania Legislature.
Best Regards,
Howard Gartland
Chairman
Radnor Republican Committee

Meet Alex Charlton
During his first term in the PA House of Representatives, Alex Charlton has
focused on serving his neighbors of Delaware County by fighting to protect people living with disabilities, tax reform, improved education and economic development.
During this legislative session, Alex
voted for public pension reform to save taxpayers money, blocked efforts to increase the personal income tax and state sales tax and secured additional funding for our local schools and first responders.
In addition, Alex has been
a champion for those with disabilities
by introducing legislation that has assisted with funding and other critical care. Alex has also introduced several pieces of legislation that protects our open space, cuts red tape for businesses, allows changes to school start times to better reflect our communities and protects victims such as medical professionals from violence and legal fees for sexual harassment victims.
Alex knows what it takes to create jobs.
As a former President of the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, Alex worked with the small and medium-sized businesses that drive innovation and economic growth in Pennsylvania. Alex also served as Chief of Staff to State Sen. Tom McGarrigle.
A lifelong resident of Delaware County, Alex lives in Springfield with his wife, Kira, and their three daughters.

EDUCATION
Our schools in Delaware County are some of the best in the state, but our teachers and school boards are trapped in a broken system that just isn’t getting the job done. It forces our teachers to “teach to the test” instead of preparing our kids to compete for jobs in a global workforce. Our school boards face burdensome one-size-fits-all regulations from Washington and Harrisburg that drive up the cost of educating our kids but do nothing to improve learning.
OPIOID ABUSE
An epidemic of opioid overdose deaths is ravaging Pennsylvania and our area, tragically, is no exception. In just one week last August, heroin overdoses took the lives of nine victims in Delaware County. Studies have shown that many overdose victims end up on a path to heroin addiction after using prescription narcotics.
JOBS AND THE ECONOMY
As President of the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, Alex Charlton worked hand-in-hand with growing businesses in our region. He saw the opportunity they created — and the challenges they faced. He helped mom-and-pop store owners struggling to stay afloat build the network of customers and advertisers they needed to survive. And he saw what government needed to do to get out of the way of the entrepreneurs that were creating jobs and generating economic growth.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Gun violence has become an all-too-common tragedy across the nation, and Pennsylvania has been among the hardest hit. As recently as 2010, there was a gun death in Pennsylvania every seven hours and from 2001-2010 nearly 13,000 people lost their lives to guns in Pennsylvania, the fifth-highest of any state.
PROTECTING OPEN SPACE
Our parks and open spaces provide families with a place to relax, unwind, socialize and exercise. They also boost the value of our homes. But it’s not always easy to promote development and economic growth while preserving open space and the natural features of our community. It’s why Alex Charlton believes it’s so important to give townships, boroughs and local communities more power and flexibility in making the development decisions that are best for our residents.
