Judy Hoover, D, celebrated her last Board of Supervisors meeting as Secretary and a member for Warminster Township on December 4, 2025, with a Proclamation from U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R, State Rep. Brian Munroe, D-144th, State Senator Frank Farry, R-6th, as well as from the Board itself.

Ms. Hoover served a six-year term and throughout saw the township grow from “financial challenges” in 2019 when first elected to a more “professional” environment by 2025 with “top notch staff” and a “solid board under the leadership of Chairman Ken Hayes, D,” she said.

Initially, in 2019 the township staff wanted to sell the water authority to stabilize its financial issues, Ms. Hoover said, and the board at the time chose not to do so. However, after further reflection regarding their ability to serve the residents regarding storm drain management they did sell this [portion] of services to the Municipal Water Authority where she said they brought “financial stability and greater expertise” for township residents. She reflected that this was “the right decision” for the township at the time.

She also witnessed a change in management at Five Ponds Golf Course which at the time of her election was not making a profit, she said. She said that it is now making a profit and run by “much more professional staff.”. She also said that Mr. Hayes’ experience “in the trades” has also helped the township to make better decisions when hiring contractors than when she was first elected.

Ms. Hoover especially cited the work of Peter Lehu, Library Director, who is “extremely professional” and has been “the best Library Director the township has ever had.” She would like to remain involved in working with the library.

Her advice for the 2026 board is to support the newly elected Supervisor, Mary Owens, D, and “hold tight; keep pushing for financial stability” for the township. She recommends the members “examine everything [that they review] closely so that it will continue to be better for the residents.”

Ms. Hoover works Part-Time for Rep. Brian Munroe’s office and assists residents of Warminster township and the rest of the 144th district with questions and concerns. She said that residents “often don’t know whom to ask or where to go for information” and is pleased that she is able to assist them. When she was elected as Supervisor for Warminster township it helped that she was able to blend her work as an elected official as well as a staff member for Munroe’s office. She also shared that her professional work for the City of Philadelphia as the Real Property Evaluator and then as the Legislative Coordinator for the AFSCME District Council 47 provided her with skills to “recognize and empathize with residents” and helped her to become “more accepting of all different people and points of view.”

Ms. Hoover’s parting words are to the residents whom she thanks for voting for her and “trusting in me” as serving as Supervisor has been “one of the greatest honors of my life,” she said.

Ms. Hoover resides in Warminster, Pa. with her two grandchildren and will continue to stay involved in community activities with the Friends of the Library, Friends of the Parks and other non-profit groups.
