(Beaver County, Pa) Beaver County Republican Chairman Roman Kozak issued the following statement following news that the new voter registration numbers show that Beaver County now has a Republican majority. Per the Pennsylvania Department of State, the most recent voter registration numbers for Beaver County show 48,170 voters registered Republican, 48,079 registered Democrats, and 15,476 registered in other parties or unaffiliated.

“With the most recent voter registration data, we can proudly and loudly proclaim that Beaver County is now a Republican majority county. Ten to 20 years ago, most of us could never imagine this happening.

“These numbers are a validation of the hard work of our Republican elected county team. From our judiciary to our county commissioners and row offices, and down to our municipal offices and school directors, Republican-led government continues to represent true Beaver County values. The people of Beaver County are telling us they want a government that is responsive to them as well as one that is professionally and responsibly managed.

“With this historic change, Beaver County voters are sending a message to the rest of Pennsylvania: Today’s Democrat party is out of touch with voters and their values.

“Thank you and congratulations to each member of the Republican Committee of Beaver County for the grassroots work they have done to help make this happen.

“Republicans are winning across Beaver County, but we still have much work to do. The future direction of our county, region, and country depends on it.”
