| Info | am writing to you about my candidacy for Morris County Freeholder. As you are aware,
a special election will be held during the convention on Saturday, February 1, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. at
the County College of Morris to fill the unexpired term of Freeholder Heather Darling. As a
member of the County's Republican Committee, it is your duty to elect a new Freeholder to fill the
term.
As a life-long resident of Morris County, I am currently serving as a Councilwoman in
Pequannock Township. I have served there for the past nine years, having been Deputy Mayor in
my first three years, and having served as Mayor in 2014 and 2017.
My husband, Art, and I have been married for 12 years, and I'm grateful that he is
supportive of my passion for public service. I am a licensed Realtor for over 20 years. I am also a
member of the Morris County Republican Committee, the Morris County Women's Republican
Club, and Pequannock's Republican Club.
Volunteering is important to me. I am a member of the Deborah Hospital Foundation,
Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, and the Suburban Woman's Club. I have always believed
that there is no better way to be involved in the communities you live and work in every day than
to volunteer your time serving others.
I hope to continue my commitment to public service with the Freeholder Board. I have a
fiscally conservative track record of balancing the budget and spurring economic development. I
am committed to promoting open transparent government. I'm proud to say that I've been able to
balance supporting community programs and resources for Pequannock's residents, while holding
the municipal tax rate to an increase of less than three-quarters of one percent in my nine years on
the Council. That's the kind of proven fiscal conservatism I will bring to the Morris County Board
of Freeholders with your support.
If elected, I pledge to hold the line on property taxes and continue to safeguard taxpayer
funds as I have done in Pequannock. As a Board we need to collaborate with local government to
create shared services that benefit our communities' residents. We must promote economic growth
to ease the tax burden. Continued cooperation with local and state elected officials will allow us
to maximize the benefits available to Morris County residents.
I am running for Freeholder because I love Morris County. I want to serve all the residents
here with the same passion I have served Pequannock. Morris County is a great place to live, work,
play, and raise a family. I will continue to work with our Freeholders to keep it that way.
