A Quick Look at Leslie Richards

Some of the county commissioner races are starting to shape. Sort of. In a way. In Montgomery County one of the likely candidates is Leslie Richards of Whitemarsh. She has a website, Friends of Leslie Richards (http://www.friendsofleslierichards.com/ with a good lengthy biography. Richards has a graduate degree in regional planning. She started Whitemarsh Day and has served on the Parks & Recreation Board, planning commission and was then elected to the township board of supervisors.

She's been out and about and held a few events. I've attended two. She makes a good first impression, smart, savvy, good at working a room and making people feel welcome. I look forward to seeing more of her and wish her well in the campaign.
