John Spiegelman

for Commissioner

Home

Dear Neighbor,

My name is John Spiegelman, and I’m running for Abington Township Commissioner. I want to represent our ward, Ward 11, on the Board of Commissioners because I love Abington Township, and I feel that all of us—the citizens and taxpayers of this great community—deserve public servants who are guided by these simple but important principles:

  • RESPECT for the citizens of our Township
  • COMMON SENSE
  • COMPASSION
  • VISION to lead our community today and tomorrow

I’ve been a resident of Abington Township for over fifteen years and a homeowner in Highland Farms for almost ten. Over a dozen years ago, after rising to senior management in the publishing industry, I went into business for myself as a graphic designer and digital typesetter. Running my own small business has given me the flexibility to become deeply involved in many community service and volunteer projects. My practical business experience, extensive involvement in our community, and deep commitment to our township make me more than ready to serve you, your family, and all of our neighbors as Ward 11’s new Commissioner.

Here’s a little more about me:

  • SMALL BUSINESS OWNER/OPERATOR for over a dozen years.
  • HIGHLAND ELEMENTARY PTO: Chief Technology Officer and member of the Executive Committee. Manager of the Thanksgiving Care & Share and the Blood Drive. Publisher of Husky Happenings. Active in many school and PTO activities/initiatives.
  • ABINGTON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL: Long-time volunteer and Production Staff member of the AJHS Musical. Directed sales-record-breaking High School Musical in 2007. Long-time Career Fair presenter.
  • FRIENDS OF THE ABINGTON FOOD CUPBOARD: Co-founder and manager of many record-breaking Food Drives.
  • ROSLYN FILM FESTIVAL: Committee member and red carpet host. (The Festival benefits the Roslyn Fire Station.)
  • MOST IMPORTANTLY: My family. My wife, Ester Eichler, has been a beloved Abington Junior/Senior High School German teacher (“Frau Eichler”) for fifteen years. Our daughter, Amelia, is a second grader at Highland Elementary.

Over the next few months, I look forward to listening to what you have to say about our community, your hopes and concerns, and our Township’s direction for the future. Please feel free to contact me at any time.

Thanks for your time and best regards,

John Spiegelman signature
