Encompassing portions of Bucks, Lehigh, Montgomery, and Northampton Counties, the recently redrawn State Senate District 24 spans some 65 miles and includes one quarter million citizens living in urban, suburban, and rural communities.

The issues facing the new legislative territory are as complex as a patchwork quilt. Although the region is pieced together from diverse neighborhoods of varying textures, colors, and patterns, it is also connected by strong, common threads.

Below is a description of District 24’s thirty-nine municipalities, sorted by county:

• Part of BUCKS County consisting of the TOWNSHIPS of Durham, East Rockhill, Milford, Nockamixon, Richland, and Springfield, and the BOROUGHS of Quakertown, Richlandtown, Riegelsville, and Trumbauersville;
  
  
• Part of LEHIGH County consisting of the TOWNSHIPS of Lower Milford, Salisbury, Upper Milford, and Upper Saucon, and the BOROUGHS of Coopersburg, Emmaus, and Macungie;
  
  
• Part of MONTGOMERY County consisting of the TOWNSHIPS of Lower Frederick, Lower Salford, Marlborough, New Hanover, Salford, Towamencin, Upper Frederick, Upper Hanover, and Upper Salford, and the BOROUGHS of East Greenville, Green Lane, Lansdale, Pennsburg, and Red Hill;
  
  
• and Part of NORTHAMPTON County consisting of the CITY of Easton, and the TOWNSHIPS of Forks, Palmer, and Williams, and the BOROUGHS of Glendon, Tatamy, West Easton, and Wilson.
