Over the years, Cindy Fisher has served her community of Cecil Township on many levels. A wife and mother of 5 children (including two sets of twins), she is active in the school system, in the township, and with community charitable organizations. She is in her second term (9th year) as a Cecil Township Supervisor and has served as the chairperson of Cecil Township Board of Supervisors for the last three years.
”People want to come to Washington County. We’ve got low taxes, we have a country charm people are yearning for, along with amenities that include a minor league baseball team, great parks, a casino and shopping. We need to make sure we have a good workforce, have good economic development programs in place and keep the low taxes so that industry wants to come here,” Maggi said.
County Commissioner Larry Maggi is a lifelong resident of Washington County with deep roots that have woven his life into the fabric of the community. Other than his years of service to his country, Maggi has never lived outside of Washington County and today resides in Buffalo Township with his wife, Mary Jeanne. They have four children and seven grandchildren.
Maggi and Fisher are Democratic candidates for Washington County commissioners.
Maggi is serving his fifth term on the Board of Commissioners for Washington County. From patrolling the highways for 24 years as a Pennsylvania State Police Trooper, serving for ten years as a criminal investigator with Troop B, and then six years as County Sheriff from 1997 to 2003, he is familiar with the people and their concerns.
He believes Washington County is an excellent place for residents to live, work and play.

We need to make sure we have a good workforce, have good economic development programs in place and keep the low taxes so that industry wants to come here,” Maggi said.
As a public servant, Fisher’s highest priority has been fiscal responsibility, and she is proud that Cecil Township has not raised taxes during her time on the Board of Supervisors. Additionally, she has helped the township secure more than $1 million in grants for park improvements, bridges, walking trails, and improvements to the public works facilities. Because of her efforts, each school in Canon-McMillian now has a resource officer. She has worked to keep taxes low while helping Cecil grow and remain one the best communities in Pennsylvania to raise a family.
Fisher firmly believes in giving back to the community and serves on the executive board for Jameson’s Army. She and her husband are members of the Children’s Hospital Foundation-Children’s Trust, and she is currently serving as Co-President of the Cecil Intermediate Parent Organization.
As a County Commissioner, she will continue to work to keep Washington County taxes low while fostering development and growth in the local economy.
“As a commissioner candidate in Washington County, I recognize the challenges businesses face in finding skilled workers. My comprehensive approach focuses on education, affordable housing, childcare, transportation, skill diversification, inclusivity, community engagement, and streamlined certifications, ensuring our local businesses have the talent and resources to thrive in the global economy,” Fisher said.

Maggi has watched the area’s economy change over the years from heavy manufacturing to energy with the Marcellus Shale.
“We have to make sure we capitalize on our natural gas, continue producing it safely, and continue to export it to the world,” said Maggi. “People need energy to thrive and to create jobs. We have been doing this for the last 15 years in Washington County. It’s important to grow smartly while not losing that country charm.”
