This short video focuses on a detailed accountability report from Newtown Supervisor John Mack reflecting on his final year of an eight-year tenure in 2025.

The report utilizes various data charts to illustrate his time allocation by month, day of the week, and specific activity type, while clarifying that personal outreach efforts like blogs and podcasts are excluded from these official totals.

Additionally, Mack evaluates his financial compensation, calculating an hourly rate based on his stipend to argue that the role is driven by community service rather than profit. He concludes by emphasizing transparency through his commitment to keeping a public record of board decisions and member voting histories.

This summary serves as both a personal legacy statement and a call for continued civic engagement and governance integrity.

In August 2016, I read a notice in the newspaper that the Township needed to fill a seat on the Board of Supervisors due to a resignation of one of the supervisors. I decided to apply for the position. Not being an experienced follower of Newtown Township politics meant that I was unaware that it was a quixotic attempt — the Board majority chooses someone of their own party. But I impressed the minority members during the interview process and they asked me to run for office in the 2017 election. The rest is history as they say! I received the most votes of any candidate — Republican or Democrat — for supervisor going back to 2007!

I hope to do even better in 2019!
