My name is John Mack and on November 5, 2019, I was re-elected to serve a 6-year term as a Newtown Supervisor. I would like to thank all the citizens who came out and voted that Tuesday. I will do my best to work as a Supervisor serving all Newtown Township residents.

Honesty · Integrity · Experience

As a Supervisor, I go the extra mile to alert my constituents to new and developing issues and utilize my position as an elected official to obtain input from local residents as to significant issues facing our community (e.g., via “Meet Mack Monday” Zoom meetings). I keep busy learning about and making decisions about issues of concern to residents, including traffic and pedestrian safety, the pollution of our streams and lakes, perfluoronated hydrocarbons (PFAS) in our drinking water, preservation of open space, fiscal responsibility, and over development (read “Newtown Area Residents Are Very Concerned About Overdevelopment”). On average, I spend more than 40 hours every month on official Supervisor activities including interacting with residents, preparing for meetings, and attending meetings (read "What's the Hourly 'Wage' of a Newtown Township Supervisor?").

Newtown Creek Bridge Public Presentation

On June 26, 2025, the Newtown Creek Coalition held a public meeting to present plans for the Newtown Creek Pedestrian Bridge. This video was created from audio and photos at that meeting. Not all visuals are available. The project is expected to be completed in 2027.

“Our founders wanted us to know what our government represen-tatives are doing. They knew that a healthy press is essential to a healthy democracy—and it’s worked for almost 250 years.” – Bucks County Herald. Also important, IMHO, is for elected government representatives to keep citizens they represent well informed.
