Megan Dougherty knows the importance of a strong foundation when it comes to building a better community. As Springfield Township Trustee, Megan will use her experience as an accomplished architect working throughout the country to ensure that the zoning and development code in Springfield Township promotes the success of the community. This means attracting the right kinds of businesses and pushing for green construction.

As a foster parent, Megan sees the effects of many social policies and how they negatively affect both the children and the parent. She will work to develop educational opportunities and health programs that ensure the safety and well-being of all families, while ensuring Springfield police and fire departments have all the training and equipment they need in order to do their jobs with compassion and empathy.
