TO THE EDITOR: I have been a Bedminster resident for almost 20 years, I very much appreciate living in our town and realize the importance of having dedicated individuals representing us, which is why on Tuesday, Nov. 4, I’ll be voting for Gina Fernandez and Bill Rosen for the Bedminster Township Committee.
I have known Bill for over 15 years and his experience as Recreation Committee Chair, paired with his years coaching youth sports, which I have had the pleasure of assisting, demonstrates his commitment to our community. Bill volunteered to coach when the town was short of volunteers, despite not having children of his own in the program, which tells you all you need to know regarding his commitment to Bedminster.
His experience as chair of the Recreation Committee will be invaluable as committeeman. I also think his focus on keeping taxes low will be invaluable in dealing with the municipal budget.
Gina’s experience as a Bedminster committeewoman will continue to benefit our town and she’ll be able to mentor Bill accordingly. Gina has always demonstrated willingness to be the lead in matters related to Bedminster School, as our daughters are the same age. She also provided valuable advice to newer parents at the school in those years, which I personally experienced.
Additionally, as liaison to the Recreation Department and Recreation Advisory Committee, she has partnered to sponsor events such as the Halloween trunk-or-treat, Easter Egg Hunt and Fall Fest.
The Bedminster Township Committee has kept property taxes the lowest in Somerset County through a detailed concentration on the municipal budget. Focus on what’s best for the residents of Bedminster will continue as this pair will meet issues head on. Be assured maintaining Green Spaces and keeping residents engaged with new events will continue as well under their representation.
Both Bill and Gina can be counted on to continue the legacy of keeping Bedminster affordable and both are long-term residents who understand what makes Bedminster special!
Please join me in voting for Bill Rosen and Gina Fernandez on Tuesday, Nov. 4, which will ensure Bedminster remains a wonderful place to live and raise a family!
