Richard Babcock – Candidate For Morristown Town Council

RICHARD BABCOCK – A FRESH VOICE FOR MORRISTOWN

I have recently announced that I am a candidate for Morristown Town Council. I have decided to run for Town Council as I wish to offer a fresh voice and perspective on behalf of ALL the people of Morristown. After much thought and observation, and having many discussions, I am confident that I can have a positive impact. I see a need for greater diversity of opinion on the Council, something I view as lacking with the make-up of the current Town Council.

As I am running for an at-large seat, I will be a representative for ALL the people of Morristown. As such, I plan to meet and speak with as many people as possible in order to assure that I am hearing as many points of view as possible on the important issues we face as a town. Yes, we do have issues, and they require the steady hand, clear mind, fresh ideas, and the independent perspective I can bring to the Town Council. I will not be influenced by all the prevailing politics that seem to influence many of the decisions made by the current council. I will be an advocate for ALL the people of Morristown, so I will make sure that I listen to, and consider, many different perspectives prior to all important votes.

To summarize my candidacy: I will make sure that our tax dollars are spent wisely while enhancing town services, expanding job and educational opportunities, and improving public safety. After all, everybody wants to feel safe walking down any street in Morristown, day or night. Having a background as a corporate manager and a small business owner, I understand the economic struggles that we all face on a daily basis. Morristown property taxes are too high, town spending needs to be better controlled, and the Council needs to be more transparent and responsive to the people of Morristown. I will go out of my way to assure that I am listening to the diverse opinions from the four corners of Morristown, and make sure that those opinions are heard clearly by the rest of the Council members and the administration.

I am truly looking forward to speaking with the many residents and business owners that make up Morristown over the next six months. I also look forward to earning your trust, and your vote.

Thank you,

A Letter from Richard Babcock

Richard P. Babcock
Republican Candidate, Morristown Town Council
1 Lyons Place, Morristown, NJ 07960
Dear Neighbors:

Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Richard Babcock and I am running for Town Council in order to bring a fiscally conservative voice to the leadership of Morristown. I will use the experience and skills developed in my 20+ year career as a corporate manager and small business owner to serve the best interests of the people of Morristown.

My vision is for a Morristown with lower property taxes, improved town services, expanded job and educational opportunities, and a town where it is safe to walk down any street, day or night.  As a center of business, government, and entertainment, Morristown has many of the challenges often associated with much larger communities, which require the type of leadership I will bring to the Town Council.

As a current member of the Morris County Republican Committee, I have consistently worked to elect leaders at the local, state, and national levels. Now, as a candidate myself, I am asking you to support my campaign by casting your vote for me in the June primary election, and then again in the November general election.

As we are all very well aware, a successful campaign takes money. As such, I am asking for any donations you are able to make so we can run the type of successful campaign we can all be proud of. Please click on the “Donations” button of this website for relevant information.

I thank you for your support.
