Chairman Agovino Comments on Arrest of Upper Darby Mayor Barbarann Keffer (D)

Upper Darby Mayor Barbarann Keffer (D) Arrested on Suspicion of Drunk Driving

Media, PA – Chairman of the Delaware County Republican Party, Frank Agovino, offered the following statement regarding yesterday’s arrest of Upper Darby Mayor Barbarann Keffer for suspected drunk driving. Initial reports also suggest that Mayor Keffer fled the scene and her vehicle was seen with damage and a flat tire.

“Last night, Upper Darby Mayor Barbarann Keffer once again displayed poor judgment, this time choosing to drive a vehicle while intoxicated endangering herself and others, offering another example to why she should not lead our largest municipality. These complex times require steady leadership and instead the Upper Darby government has been plagued with dysfunction, scandal, financial mismanagement, and a skyrocketing crime rate.

While I am sensitive to those that make mistakes or suffer from addiction, Mayor Keffer should recognize based on recent events that remaining as Mayor is not in the best interest of Upper Darby Township.”
