I’m honored to be included on this list of potential leaders to replace what will soon become a vacant seat on the Board of County Commissioners. Congratulations to Commissioner Lanza on his nomination to the Court - a position he has well earned and will represent Hunterdon with distinguished service. newjerseyglobe.com/local/gam…

Yesterday evening, I had the honor of swearing in Councilman Ross Traphagen for this third three-year term serving the Town of Clinton. Ross's deep commitment to investing in his hometown and serving the Clinton community speaks volumes, and I wish him continued success in this next term.

However, my focus is on the Town of Clinton. I intend to continue to build upon the successes of the last six years, and keep moving Clinton forward together.

I promise to continue to work with anyone and everyone who wants to keep making Clinton a great place to live. It’s what makes this place so special, it doesn’t matter your party label, how old or young you are, or how long you’ve lived here –

My wife and I are expecting our first baby early next year. I'm running for Assembly in #LD16 to ensure my daughter can enjoy a bright future here in New Jersey. 📺 Check out my new ad:

But, as I have heard from constituents, colleagues, and friends across the 16th Legislative District, the challenges small businesses face on a daily basis are one of the many reasons residents leave our great state.

As your Assemblyman in Trenton, the business community can be certain I will have their back.

I know Roy Freiman struggles with facts, but I believe our elected leaders should set a good example for their communities. That is why I am happy to oblige him with the truth after he stopped me in his car this past Sunday.
