Candidates Canvass Perkasie Neighborhoods During Pennridge Democrats' Day of Action

Local Democratic candidates and volunteers gathered under the large pavilion in Perkasie’s Lenape Park Saturday morning to kick off Pennridge Democrats’ Day of Action. Many who turned out are running for school board director or borough council seats, though other Democratic candidates such as Danny Ceisler, Donna Petrecco, and Dawn DiDonato Burke joined in to canvass local neighborhoods. Burke is seeking office for Judge of The Court of Common Pleas while Petrecco is running for Prothonotary. Ceisler is looking to unseat Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran, who has come under fire for his recent partnership with ICE.

Last month the ACLU filed a lawsuit against Harran arguing that he had illegally entered into a contract with ICE due to the lack of approval from Bucks County Commissioners, who back in May declared Harran’s 287(g) agreement invalid. Democratic commissioner Bob Harvie, also door knocking during Saturday’s event, does not support Harran’s agreement to deputize local law enforcement in order to help ICE officials detain and arrest immigrants in Bucks County.

During introductions, Danny Ceisler brought attention to the disturbing policies coming out of Washington while encouraging candidates and volunteers to focus on more local efforts.

“It’s not going to be your senator or the president,” said Ciesler, referring to who on a daily basis affects their lives more, “it’s going to be your borough council member, or your school board member.” Ceisler also stressed the importance of face-to-face interactions when encouraging voter turnout.
