Please note the following:
Candidates must be registered Democrats residing in the ward/town in which they seek office, demonstrate how they share STDC’s values, and communicate how they will serve their constituents.
The Recruitment and Nominating Committee will hold interviews on a rolling basis, and will make endorsement nominations to STDC in February, 2025. Only duly elected or appointed STDC committee people can vote on STDC endorsements. If no single candidate receives at least 60% of the STDC vote, no endorsement will be made.

Resolution in Support of Asian American and Pacific Islanders
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have watched as discriminatory and xenophobic rhetoric, verbal harassment, and physical violence has increased against Asian American and Pacific Islander individuals and families in our Commonwealth and across the country.
Our township is comprised of many diverse families, including those from the Asian American and Pacific Islander diaspora, and we want to make it clear to our neighbors that Springfield Township is a place that supports and nurtures the safety and security of all people. The basic ability to be free from any crime against one’s personhood is inherent to building better communities. One act of xenophobic discrimination negatively impacts us all. No matter who you are, the victims of these bigoted acts and attitudes are our neighbors and friends, family members and loved ones. As such, we stand united with our Asian American and Pacific Islander community members and categorically condemn any act of discrimination or violence against any person, particularly borne out of xenophobic and racist views.
We will continue the work of combatting all harassment and discrimination, keeping the recent vulnerability of the Asian American community in mind. Hate has no home in Springfield Township.
