Letter: York Township Supervisor Endorses Dan Kordik for the 46th District

Kordik puts forth a lot of effort to improve quality of life, John Valle says.

I am proud to serve with him in the current township administration and I enthusiastically endorse Dan Kordik and his candidacy for State Representative in the 46th District. —John Valle, York Township supervisor
