Our Land, Our Legacy, Our Future
My name is Laura Brown, and I'm running for re-election as Supervisor of Silver Spring Township.
I live with my husband Kevin (and our dog, Simon) near Texaco Road and Route 114/Hogestown Road. We have been residents of Silver Spring Township for 23 years.
I hold a B.A. in Political Science from Penn State University and have gained valuable experience through various roles in the private sector.
Since being elected Supervisor in 2020, I have continued to expand my knowledge and professional development to faithfully serve and perform my duties and responsibilities.
I'm running as a Republican candidate and will continue to represent all the residents of the township. I will not be influenced by any special interest groups or developers.
If you have a question or want to share a concern, please contact me at ResidentsForLauraBrown@gmail.com.
I ask for your vote of support on November 4, 2025. Thank you.
