8:20 a.m.: Look for two towns to have heated races today. Out in Newtown Supervisor Linda Houldin is being challenged from within her own party in a GOP fight. The township board has been bickering for months over competing developments in town, and now the brouhaha over several township employees charged with theft in connection with use of the township FedEx account for private purposes.
Houldin is being challenged by Ed Partridge, who is giving up a seat on the Marple Newtown School Board. No one is running on the Dem side, meaning that whoever wins today likely will be your winner in November as well.
And in Springfield, there is a rare whiff of Republican discord with the reappearance of Jim Devenney. He was ousted in a spat over use of the township swim club by some of his family members. Now he is mounting a comeback, and taking some shots at the party along the way.
Keep your eye on these two today.
