BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014He’s a township institution.<\/p>\n
For 31 years, Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo has ruled the roost as the township’s leader with a track record of sound fiscal responsibility, one of Bucks County’s best police forces, and building a community that has been recognized as one of the most family-friendly in the nation.<\/p>\n
“I was born and raised here. I am Bensalem,” the mayor told Patch in an exclusive interview recently.<\/p>\n
So it’s no wonder, that at age 87, DiGirolamo is showing no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n
Bensalem, which is Bucks County’s Republican stronghold, has the GOP once again endorsing DiGirolamo’s candidacy for mayor in the upcoming May 20 primary election and the one in November, where a Democratic challenger will try to end his tenure.<\/p>\n
“I’m not retiring,” he said. “I do a great job. I have a great team, a great township, and a great community. My record speaks for itself.”<\/p>\n
DiGirolamo said his campaign is off and running.<\/p>\n
“I will take on the challenges on my record,” he said. “I will continue to do this as long as God allows me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014He’s a township institution.
