Molly Henderson (born September 14, 1953) is a former Commissioner of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

[1]

The Commissioners are the chief executive and legislative officials of the County, which has 500,000 residents spread over {{convert|940|sqmi|km2}} and an annual County budget of $300 million.

[2] Henderson was elected in 2003 to a four-year term[3]

and was the lone Democrat on the Board of Commissioners in a County where Republicans outnumber Democrats two to one.

[4]

Henderson was previously Head of Public Health for the City of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the County seat.

[5]

Henderson was not re-elected as Lancaster County Commissioner on November 7, 2007.[6] Henderson was succeeded by Craig Lehman as the minority Commissioner.

Other careers

She is a former high school and college teacher, holding a doctorate degree from Temple University, a master's degree from West Chester University and her B.S. from James Madison University.[7] Henderson is also a Respiratory Therapist and worked at Lancaster General Hospital prior to her teaching[8] and government careers.

Political views

Henderson is a notable opponent of the Lancaster County Convention Center Authority's controversial $170 million hotel/convention center in downtown Lancaster on the site of the former Watt & Shand building.[9]

[10] The project's supporters believe it would promote the revitalization of the city's center. Its opponents, however, feel it poses an unacceptable risk to taxpayers.[8]

The hotel portion of the project is owned 50% by Lancaster Newspapers, Inc. which have been accused of using their monopoly print position in the County to promote the project and stifle opposition. Henderson has been referenced in more than 2,200 newspaper articles, over 700 of which concern the Lancaster County Convention Center project, many of them attacking her position.[11]

Personal life

Henderson is married to Alex Henderson and has two children, Alexander "Ander" Henderson and Leslie Henderson.[12][13]
