Meet the Candidates for Forks Supervisor

“The Right Choice for Forks Township Supervisor.” That’s the platform Republican candidate Dan Martyak is running on in the May 17 primary.

He is running for the one available six-year term.

A 16-year township resident, Martyak said that if elected he will practice fiscal responsibility, work to increase business in the township, do more long-term planning for a growing community, practice transparency in government decision-making and broadcast meetings.

“I’m committed to public service,” he said. “My goal as your Forks supervisor is to bring about change to make our leadership more successful in meeting the needs of the citizens of Forks Township,” he said on his Facebook page promoting his candidacy.

Martyak is president of the Forks Township Youth Sports Organization. Among other things, he says he was responsible for instituting mandatory background checks on youth sports coaches. In addition, Martyak is involved with the township’s annual Community Day and is a past member of the Easton Area School District Facilities Utilization Committee.

Martyak has been employed for some 25 years for Global Business Information. He is married with three children.
