Did you know as of early 2026, New Jersey's unemployment rate is 5.4%? Only California and the District of Columbia reported higher unemployment rates recently. Major corporations, including pharma, finance, and retailers, have issued layoffs, with 26,700 jobs cut between January and July 2025, according to data looking toward 2026.

How do you think the Democrats will do running Bernards?

Great day out canvassing with the Tom Kean team and our amazing volunteers!

One of our favorite parts of campaigning is meeting residents face-to-face and hearing directly about their concerns, priorities, and hopes for Bernards Township. These conversations matter, and they remind us why we’re running.

People want smart leadership, fiscal responsibility, safe neighborhoods, and a community that continues to put families first. Paul and I are committed to listening, showing up, and working hard for every resident.

Thank you to everyone who spent part of their Saturday with us. We truly appreciate the support!

Made in… NOT USA. Made in Trenton.

What are New Jersey families getting from one-party Democrat rule?

• School defunding
• Record debt
• Housing mandates
• Tax increases
• Jail closures
• A hostile business climate

Meanwhile, residents are expected to pay more and accept less.

Bernards deserves leaders who will stand up to Trenton policies that are making New Jersey less affordable, less competitive, and less accountable.

This election matters.

Parents and families in Bernards Township need to pay attention to this.

The Board of Education is proposing new “pay-to-play” fees for students participating in sports and activities:

• Up to $100 per student at Ridge High School
• Up to $50 per student at William Annin
• Covers multiple sports and clubs, but still a new cost for families

This is expected to generate about $500,000, but it comes alongside:

• $2.5 million in staff reductions (25–30 positions)
• A 4.98% tax increase
• A budget gap of roughly $6 million

The biggest driver is rising healthcare costs, up nearly 14% (about $3 million).

For the average Bernards home, that means about a $489 increase in property taxes.

So families are now facing:
Higher taxes
Fewer staff
And new fees just for students to participate

Public hearing and final vote: May 4

If this impacts your family, now is the time to be informed and involved.
