LETTER: Republicans ‘have our best interests’ in Bedminster

EDITOR: I recently attended an event hosted by the Bedminster Republican Social Club. It featured speakers including Congressman Leonard Lance, Freeholder Patrick Scaglione, and local Bedminster Republican candidates Larry Jacobs and Renee Mareski.

What I heard were the values I hold dear – a commitment to integrity and honesty, efficient government, property tax relief, safety and quality of life improvements like the farmers market and farm preservation.

Before I moved to town 18 years ago, I was in search of an area that provided a variety of housing options, scenic views and low taxes – a rare combination in New Jersey. Having found Bedminster, I realized I had uncovered the crown jewel of Somerset County.

But none of this happens by accident. As a professional woman, I help small and mid-size companies become high performance organizations. There are no silver bullets to help my clients achieve success. It requires a clear sense of direction, good values, outstanding service and operational excellence. Good government is no different. With the right mindset, a good strategy and outstanding talent, great results are possible.

When it comes to voting, I base my decisions on candidates that reflect my value system, as opposed to relying on the pundits and the press. This year’s crop of Republican candidates, including Senate candidate Bob Hugin, Rep. Leonard Lance, Freeholders Patrick Scaglione and Mark Caliguire, Committeeman Larry Jacobs and candidate Renee Mareski, all share a common focus on the things that matter most to me, our town and our country.

Individually and collectively, they are committed to supporting a national agenda which focuses on prosperity and safety and locally on reducing property taxes, reducing the size of government, preserving open space and ensuring that New Jersey residents receive their fair share from the federal government.

I encourage my fellow neighbors to vote for this slate of very qualified candidates who have our best interests at heart on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
