Dear Upper Darby Residents,
After much thought and consideration, I have decided not to seek re-election to Upper Darby Township Council. As my term comes to an end, I am choosing to focus on my family, professional career, and the next chapter of my life.
Serving as your Councilman for the 7th District over the past five years—and six by the end of my term—has been one of the greatest honors of my life. When I was first appointed at just 23 years old, I was the youngest council member at the time. Since then, I have dedicated myself to addressing the quality-of-life concerns that matter most to our community, from improving recreation opportunities to enhancing public safety. Throughout my tenure, I have had the privilege of serving as both Vice President and President of Council, working to make Upper Darby a better place for all.
I am deeply grateful to the residents of the 7th District for believing in me and entrusting me with the responsibility of representing you. Your support, engagement, and passion for our community have inspired me every step of the way. While I will not be seeking another term, I will always remain committed to the progress and success of Upper Darby.
Thank you for allowing me to serve.
Sincerely,
Hafiz Tunis Jr.
President, Upper Darby Township Council
