If Democrats would stop shooting people gun violence would drop by 90 percent — and that does not seem to be an exaggeration.

The Temptations – Ball of Confusion Lyrics
Yeadon, in Delaware County, PA, has seen an overabundance of confusion recently, and there is even some confusion in the Borough Council election. The Yeadon Borough Council removed the former police chief, popular with many members of the public, due to a charge of “overspending”. There were protests from both members of the public and dissenting council members.
There was also some controversy around Johanna McClinton’s choice as Pennsylvania’s first female African-American Speaker of the House.
Mark Rozzi, the previous Democratic speaker, stepped aside so that McClinton, whose 191st District includes Yeadon, could finally become speaker.
Yeadon claims to be the home of the original founder of Flag Day, though there are other contenders for that.
Yeadon boasts an all-female borough council. (Swarthmore, by contrast, has one token male borough council member.) For this election, there are three incumbents with five challengers, all of the Democratic Party persuasion. None of the challengers has a current campaign website, Facebook page, or any other electronic presence, which seems unusual in 2023. Nothing for the Yeadon Democratic Party either.
All eight Democrats were invited to a Yeadon Council candidate forum, but only two incumbents and two challengers attended. One would expect more energy from candidates running for vulnerable posts, but …
One of the challenger Candidates, Jessie Peets, said that after attending a Borough Council meeting at the urging of his social media feed, he “immediately saw that something was very wrong and he had to do something about it.”
Denise H. Stinson, also a challenger candidate observed that “You can agr3e to disagree but you don’t have to be mean about it.”
One might expect there to be more of a social media presence in this election but that may not be what wins elections.
