In the May 19 Primary, Joel Buckley was elected to be the Republican candidate for Township Supervisor in the November 3rd Election.

"The number one issue in the Conewago Supervisor election is controlling development."

For the past six years, Buckley has been Conewago's most outspoken critic of proposals to change zoning to allow more development in the rural township.
"The people of Conewago want to preserve its agricultural heritage."

• Read about Buckley vs 1000 Home Development

Incumbent Galen Shelly has taken actions and pursued policies that promote more development.

• Shelly's proposed Comprehensive Plan would have rezoned hundreds and hundreds of acres of farmland along the township's main road for development.
  "Conewago residents reject Shelly's plan to turn Rt. 743 into another Rt. 39."
• After Shelly's defeat in the May Primary, the Supervisors got the message that the township wanted less development. On October 14, 2009, the Board voted unanimously to approve a revised Comprehensive Plan which allows significantly less development that the 2008 proposed plan.

• Shelly voted for a township Sewer Authority, which extended sewer service to Rt. 743, making higher density development possible.
  
  
• Shelly, a big developer of commercial real estate in Conewago Township, has appointed real estate developers (including Ralph Luttrell) to township offices.
  Buckley says, "that's like having the foxes guarding the henhouse."

Buckley sees a groundswell in support for his campaign.
"Galen Shelly has disappointed a lot of people who voted for him last time.
People want a change."

In the May Primary, Conewago Republicans voted for a change, nominating Joel Buckley, and rejecting Galen Shelly's bid for a second term.
(After losing the Republican Primary, Shelly is now running on the Democrat ticket.)
