Connor O’Hanlon — Leadership Starts Local

Bucks Townies Podcast
Written By Andrew Mann

In this episode of the Bucks Townies Podcast, we sit down with Connor O’Hanlon, a Doylestown Borough Councilman, CPA, and longtime community advocate, to explore what local leadership really looks like behind the scenes.

Connor has been involved in civic life from a young age, serving on nonprofit boards, advocating for mental health awareness, and ultimately stepping into public office. During our conversation, he shares how borough-level decisions directly affect residents, businesses, and neighborhoods — often in ways that go unnoticed.

We discuss the realities of budgeting, housing challenges, public accountability, and why local government plays a far greater role in daily life than most people realize. Connor also reflects on the responsibility that comes with leadership and the importance of staying connected to the community you serve.

This episode offers a thoughtful, grounded perspective on public service — not as a political spectacle, but as hands-on work that shapes the future of Bucks County.

🎧 Listen to the full episode to hear Connor’s story and insights.
