New Stafford Township Councilman Thomas Bresnahan was sworn in Aug. 1 during a special meeting. As soon as he took his seat at the dais, he thanked his fellow council members for the opportunity “to be more involved in this capacity,” he said, “in a community I’ve grown to love since 2015, when I moved here.”

The process of getting on council was interesting but fun, to say the least, he added.
