TO THE EDITOR: As a proud Bedminster resident for over 20 years, I have continued admiration and appreciation for our town and the people who make up this great community. Understanding the rich history of this great town and looking toward the future and how important it is, I am announcing my full support and voting for Bill Rosen and Gina Fernandez for Bedminster Township Committee on Nov. 4.
I have had the pleasure of knowing not only Bill but the entire Rosen family for over 18 years, as our daughters have been friends since entering Bedminster Elementary School together. Not only is Bill a great father and husband, he is also someone who really enjoys and appreciates being a Bedminster resident. Over the years I have the honor to work with Bill. Whether it was on the Bedminster Little League Board or coaching our girls in Bedminster Rec basketball, the passion and excitement he brought could be felt by all.
Bill is a selfless individual who is constantly looking to improve our town and is always giving back whether volunteering on the Recreation Committee or spending his Saturday mornings greeting people at the local farmers’ market. He embodies the type of person it takes to be on our Township Committee and no doubt will make this town even greater.
Like Bill, I have had the pleasure of knowing Gina Fernandez for almost the same length of time. Gina is always putting the needs and goals of others before herself. Gina has not only been a strong advocate but leader for all things Bedminster and made sure that everything she was involved she gave it her all and always put the community of Bedminster first.
As a candidate looking for re-election, Gina already knows and understands the needs of the community and will continue to work hard for the residents of this town. Her kindness, willingness and leadership to step up and provide her knowledge on a wide array of township matters makes her the ideal person to reelect and I support her fully.
Both Bill and Gina are not only outstanding citizens in this community but have the leadership qualities and understanding that are essential to keeping Bedminster the great town that it has been in the past and one that will continue to thrive in the future. We couldn’t have asked for two better candidates to team up together and help Bedminster win!
I encourage all my fellow residents of Bedminster to put their differences aside and vote for Bill Rosen and Gina Fernandez this November, as your vote is a vote for the love and future of Bedminster.
