EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP PROPELS OLD BRIDGE’S SUCCESS AMIDST CHALLENGES

safety and day to day life. We have already seen instances where our roads can be unsafe for motorists, and affects cyclists and pedestrians as a byproduct. We need a comprehensive traffic management plan, working side by side with our police department, that addresses this issue head-on. Investing in infrastructure, implementing traffic safety measures, and enhancing public transportation options will ease congestion and make our roads safer for everyone. As your Mayor, I will work with families, residents, small businesses and the Old Bridge Town Council to openly and honestly deal with every challenge that may arise. I pledge to be straightforward and transparent to the Old Bridge residents to make sure all of their concerns are heard. I am truly excited for the future of Old Bridge.

outdoor recreation, and in a time of sky rocketing costs Old Bridge remains among the most affordable towns in the area.

Experienced leadership has allowed our town to successfully confront major challenges. Together, we’ve built back from Superstorm Sandy and managed our way through the COVID pandemic - saving lives and local businesses and fighting back against crushing state mandates.

All that is on top of tackling challenges that get less attention but are no less important. When our team first got elected, we learned that the existing police radio system was woefully out of date. Local police officers couldn’t directly communicate with other first responders. We acted quickly and were able to replace the system with state-of-the-art technology without a tax increase for our residents.

One of the challenges facing Old Bridge today is the traffic on Rt 9. This is mainly due to the overdevelopment of the towns to our south. The building was approved in 1996, and the state does not allow us to stop the building as the approval does not sunset for 30 years. Since this has been caused by state-mandated COAH housing, I will work with state representatives to remove COAH mandates from the judges’ hands and put them back in the hands of the state legislators.

I believe we can confront any challenge with experienced and responsible leadership and continue to better serve our residents every day.
