One Democratic candidate, Michael Haid is running uncontested for a 2-year term.

Spohn has lived in Donegal Township for over 16 years. He previously worked for Chicora borough for five years, and currently works for Butler County as a tax assessor. He said he works with the townships and boroughs with the collection of building permits on new construction.

He said he wanted to run for supervisor to get more involved with the township and how it operates.

His goals include working to save taxpayers money and keeping the residents more informed with what is going on in the township.
