Mahatma Gandhi's words of: "Be the change you wish to see in the world," are spoken often and shared on social media and on bumper stickers. They are wise words. If we want things to change, we need to do whatever we can to contribute to that effort.

My podcast guests this week Jennifer Graham Partyka and Sabrina Hannon were inspired to make their contributions by running for local office. Both women were elected in 2025 as the first women on the Glenburn Township Board of Supervisors. These women bring experience from the frontlines of life, often interacting with people in times of crisis through their day jobs--a benefit that Jen believes is vital to understand how the decisions made by elected officials can truly impact them.

If you are considering running for office in Northeast PA, Jen will certainly be your cheerleader and help you to prepare. Reach out to the Abington Democrats to get involved alongside Jen and many others in the community who care.

Tune in to hear what inspired Sabrina and Jen to become involved in local politics and hear what they're planning in their new roles.
