We’ve been trimming our paving and look at how bad it’s gotten!

What’s truly terrifying? It’s not the ghosts or ghouls tonight. It’s not voting and allowing people who didn’t have our best long-term interests at heart to easily take back the keys to our future. Don't let apathy haunt us. Vote!

Rain or shine (mostly 🌧️!), Uday was out knocking doors this evening!

Your voices are being heard. Here’s a snapshot of what’s on residents' minds:

Borough Priorities

Finances: Restoring fiscal discipline and a deep dive into our former surplus or reserves.

Road Paving: Strategizing for maintenance of our roads.

Development: Curbing growth so that it doesn’t continue to drain our resources and snarl traffic.

These are critical areas Uday has been focused on and continues to address constructively. Let's work together to find sustainable long-term solutions.

The Fun Side of Door Knocking:

Will the lose again? (A common concern! 😉)

Favorite local spot (🌮🛎️)

His questionable car maintenance skills (brakes, etc.)

“It has been an honor to serve as your councilman, and I would be honored to continue this important work. Your vote will make a difference! Get your ballots in or make your plan to vote!” - Uday, Council candidate Ward 1

We Deserve Better Roads in Franklin Park.

Driving in the borough shouldn't feel like an obstacle course. With over 65 miles of road to maintain, the fact that our paving has dropped to just 2.5 miles per year is unacceptable. It means more wear and tear on our cars, and a clear sign that essential maintenance is being ignored.

This isn't just a political issue—it's about our daily lives, our safety, and the value of our community.

On Tuesday, let's make a change. We have the opportunity to elect leaders who will stop ignoring our infrastructure and put a sustainable, long-term road fix at the top of the priority list.

Don't settle for the status quo. Let's work together to fix Franklin Park's roads. See you at the polls!

Let’s get those ballots returned! An unreturned ballot is a vote for our opponents. Uday Palled knows the importance of turning in these ballots on time, and correctly. Let’s do the right thing, turn in our ballots, and re-elect Uday Palled to Borough Council!

10/23/2025

If you’ve gotten your ballot, fill it out ASAP and send it back!

Curtis Neil, our Ward 3 candidate for council knows the importance of returning your ballot, on time, and correctly. As a chemical engineer, following protocols and being disciplined is important, including the process of returning your ballot! Don’t hesitate, let’s continue to and elect Curtis to council!

Also, he’s got some awesome slate mates looking to get re-elected (Uday Palled - Ward 1) and elected (Venu Paruvelli - Ward 2 and Cristen Fiffik for Mayor).
