These are the current Democratic office holders in Lockport Township Government
Alex Zapien
Lockport Township Supervisor
A township supervisor serves on a board that oversees the running of a township. As part of the community’s government, these individuals are responsible for setting and enacting policies and resolutions, levying taxes and setting budgets. They are elected to their posts and are therefore viewed as community leaders.
A township supervisor helps formulate township policies and supervise their enactment, participates in the development and approval of the township budget as well as the hiring of employees. As a member of the township board, he/she casts votes on community issues, responds to complaints of township residents and moderates township meetings.

Karen Johnson
Currently serving as your Lockport Township Trustee
The Township Trustees are the elected “watch dogs” whose responsibilities are to prepare the township’s annual budget, make certain that all township and road district funds are spent wisely and accounted for, and to assure that township services are efficiently managed and delivered. Because townships traditionally operate on very modest budgets (tax levies), compared to other government bodies, how each dollar is spent is critically important to the Trustees.
