Mary Nogami sees herself as an extremism-neutralizer.
In her majority-GOP Bucks County community, Nogami, 47, who voted for President Joe Biden, sees a split between Republicans who have doubled down in their support of former President Donald Trump and more moderate conservatives.
She changed her registration to Republican in February of this year “to help that party, hopefully, from the inside.” And she has watched as existing fault lines in the community have influenced the tone of local races ahead of the May 18 primary.
“The community being so torn, it probably comes from the stress of the pandemic, the stress of the 2020 election,” said Nogami, of Hilltown Township.

U.S. News & World Report has released its annual rankings of every public high school in the nation.
The rankings rated more than 17,800 public high schools on how well they served students on factors such as college readiness, reading and math performance, graduation rates and assistance for underserved students.
Cedar Crest High School’s commencement will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, June 4, at the school’s Earl Boltz Stadium, with social distancing measures in place.
The Cornwall-Lebanon school board received an update April 12 on a $400,000 project that will replace the artificial turf surface at Arnold Field at Earl Boltz Stadium.
The project is expected to begin shortly after the conclusion of the 2020-21 school year and could include the resurfacing of the track inside the stadium.
It is not known if replacing the track would increase the cost of the project. The project had been delayed by a year, partly due to the financial uncertainties created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The Cornwall-Lebanon School District did not immediately reply to multiple attempts seeking additional details following its work session held in person in the large group instruction room of Cedar Crest High School, with a virtual livestreaming option.
