Upper Merion School Board Supervisor

Tina Garzillo

As a dedicated member of our community, I have been honored to serve on the Upper Merion Board of Supervisors since 2018, and I am excited to announce my candidacy to run once again. In 2022, I became Vice-Chairperson and have now served as Chairperson since 2023. I also serve on numerous boards and committees within the Township to assist with guiding a solid future. This leadership role has showcased my strengths honed from many years as a small business owner, always with an emphasis on long range strategic planning. We have successfully navigated unprecedented challenges, such as the Pandemic and economic shifts. Protecting economic stability and safety in our community remains paramount, and I will continue to work to make Upper Merion a great place for everyone, no matter their background, a great place to live, work, and raise our families.

 

Thank you for putting your trust in me. Let’s keep moving forward together!

Upper Merion Tax Collector
Evelyn Ankers

Evelyn Ankers has lived in the township for almost 20 years and is currently the Tax Collector in Upper Merion after a historic write-in campaign in 2021 which resulted in her being the first ever Democrat elected as Tax Collector in the Township.

Evelyn has a bachelor’s degree in Financial Services and a paralegal certification. She also currently holds the designation of Certified Pennsylvania Tax Collector and is an officer in the Montgomery County Tax Collectors Association.

As Tax Collector, Evelyn is currently responsible for collecting county, township and school taxes from approximately 11,000 parcels. Evelyn has also kept her original campaign promises by modernizing the tax office, including creating a website, allowing people to pay by credit card and having in person office hours available again to taxpayers.  

Evelyn spends her free time with her son, as well as playing soccer and being frustrated by Philadelphia sports teams.
