Walking and Talking

AUGUST UPDATE: I’ve been knocking on a lot of doors around Morristown and speaking with a lot of great people over the last month or so. I’ve also attended some great events, like the recent Neighborhood House community event (boy, was it hot that day !!). I’ve heard from so many people that they want a Councilman that will do everything possible to keep them, and especially their children, safe from crime, violence, and drugs. I have also heard many tell me they want a Councilman that will honor the historic nature of Morristown. They’ve said that they moved here because of the charm and unique nature of the town, and they don’t want it to turn into another Hoboken. They’ve told me that it is time to take a breath from all the building and find other ways to lower spending and taxes. like shared services. Many people have said that quality of life for their families is so important, and they wanted to make sure Morristown was not simply sold to the highest bidder. These conversations have been so motivating, and they confirmed exactly why I wanted to run for town council – on behalf of ALL of the people of Morristown, I will work to assure our town is all that it can be, and do the things necessary to assure that all her residents are safe, happy, and proud of their town !! If elected, I will be that voice on the Council to assure that the best interests of Morristown are always front and center in everything I do.
