Cindy Newcomer announced she will seek the Republican nomination for reelection as the Lycoming County treasurer in the May primary.

Newcomer took over the duties of the office after the retirement of long-time Treasurer Connie Rupert in 2020. Shortly after taking office, Newcomer and her team were able to take on the responsibility of current year tax collection, according to the news release.

During the height of the pandemic, the office safely staffed and continued to provide the service that the residents of Lycoming County relied on. She also used this time to increase the number of services available online to best accommodate those who chose not to visit the office.

“I am very thankful for the professionalism and dedication that my staff provides to our residents on a daily basis,” Newcomer said.

Before her election to county treasurer, Newcomer was the secretary and treasurer for Muncy Creek Township for more than 20 years, according to the news release.

She also volunteers her time as the Republican Committeewoman for Muncy Creek Township, an administrator for the community Facebook group Muncy Creek Message Board and is the assistant secretary for the Deater Foundation Inc., a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting research of the rare genetic neuropathy, HSAN1.

Cindy and her husband Eric, an electrical instructor at the Pennsylvania College of Technology, reside in Muncy Creek Township with their two daughters, Alexis and Lindsey.

Alexis attends Penn College and is working towards her bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, and Lindsey will continue her educational journey this fall at Lycoming College after graduating from the Muncy School District.

“I have lived in Lycoming County my entire life and I am dedicated to serving our residents for another four years as their treasurer,” Newcomer said. “I humbly ask for your vote of confidence and support again this May.”
