You’ve heard the rumors. Now it’s official: I’m running for Mayor of Downingtown! 🎉

This campaign is about YOU—our neighbors, friends, and community.

🌟 Volunteer or invest in our campaign at www.ericadeuso.com.

Let’s build a brighter future for Downingtown. 💙
My opponent is attacking me for earning endorsements because he couldn’t earn any of his own. No Republican person/group has backed him, and that says everything about his credibility. People/orgs only endorse candidates they trust and believe can win—and clearly, no one believes that about him.

Republicans run the Senate.
Republicans run the House.
Republicans run the White House.

The government shut down is on them.

If you still point at Democrats after knowing that, you’re the reason McDonald’s had to print “Caution I'm Hot” on the cups.

Chester County just took a historic step forward. In 90 days, our first countywide nondiscrimination ordinance goes into effect, protecting residents in housing, employment, and public accommodations. Proud to see fairness written into law for all!

I feel just as bad for the people in the crowd in Utah, as I do for the hundreds, if not thousands of school students, faculty, and staff, who've had to witness children slaughtered in front of them. I can't imagine the horror, the nightmares, and the PTSD they deal with.

🚨 Downingtown Deserves Honesty, Not Make-Believe Mayors 🚨

My opponent, Rich Bryant, calls himself “Mayor” on his website. That would be news to our borough—Phil Dague is our current mayor. I won’t call myself mayor until voters elect me Nov 4, and I take the oath on Jan 7. #SafeSustainableStrong

Love Story meets End Zone 💍🏈 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just made it official! Looks like this tight end found his Forever & Always, and she said Yes instead of You Belong With Me. Congrats to the new Blank Space on the roster, Mr. & Mrs. in the making!

Trump says the U.S. is the only country with mail-in voting. Ever heard of Canada? Germany? Australia? He’s either lying, an idiot, or both, and he clearly thinks you’re one too if you believe it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. EMD

Twelve weeks from today, Downingtown voters will choose our next mayor. That’s 84 days for me to earn your trust, your support, and your vote. I’ll be meeting with residents, attending community events, and working every day to make sure your voice is heard at Borough Hall.

Thank you, @theyseebluepa.bsky.social, for having me and many other candidates at your event today in Treddyfrin township! I look forward to working with you to keep Downingtown Safe, Sustainable, and Strong!

Trump’s latest word salad: “The intelligence says we don’t know… It was very severe… It was obliteration.”

Confused? So is he. This isn’t leadership. It’s incompetence. Time to step down.

The Supreme Court just told trans kids to suffer for political points. That’s not justice—it’s abuse.

If the government’s cracking down on protestors while spineless politicians stay silent, it’s not law and order, it’s fascism in a flag costume, and we’re not fucking having it.

Proud to be endorsed by “Mr. Downingtown” himself — Mayor Phil Dague!

Mayor Dague knows what it takes to do this job well: a strong commitment to public safety and a deep love for our community.

Thank you, Mayor Dague, for your trust and support — I’m honored to carry on your legacy!

Do you think companies won't try to sneak in a little more profit for themselves with tariffs?

You think Nike won't take a shoe they pay $10 to make and sell now for $100, and raise the price to $105 before the tariff to try to squeeze more out of you. They did it during COVID. Expect it now.

I’ve had to fight for respect, which is why I lead with compassion.

But this campaign isn’t about me. It’s about keeping Downingtown safe, climate-ready, and rooted in our Good Neighbor values.

Front page of the Philly Inquirer today. Let’s go!

Every sign. Every flyer. Every piece of our campaign literature? Union-made. Because we support organized labor, not just in words, but in action. So when you check your mailbox, look for the union bug. And if it’s not there — ask yourself if that candidate truly stands with you.

We do.

Wishing a meaningful Good Friday to all who observe. Today, Christians around the world reflect on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ—an act of profound sacrifice and love. It’s a solemn day, set aside for prayer, contemplation, and gratitude. I hope this day brings peace, hope, and compassion.

The Mayor’s job isn’t to chase massive grants to fix flooding — that’s what federal, state, and county governments are for. They’ve got the deep pockets.

What a Mayor can do is listen, and take action when neighbors speak up. I did when neighbors told me of a dog waste problem in the park.

So, of course, I had to do it.

Big news! We’re fired up to have earned the endorsement of Her Bold Move! They back bold, unapologetic leaders ready to shake up the status quo — and that’s exactly what we’re doing right here in Downingtown. Let’s build a safer, more sustainable, and community together!
