Our Mission
Why is this election Important?
The Township Council has a serious impact on your life, deciding how to spend over $40 million of your tax dollars and ensuring the services you rely on are dependable and affordable. Many of the ideas that shape our nation begin at the local level. We deserve a local government that reflects every resident of Randolph, and that can’t happen without your vote.
Responsible Growth
Responsible growth is a fundamental principle guiding our vision for Randolph. Growth is inevitable, but it must be managed thoughtfully to preserve the unique character and quality of life that makes our town special.
While we support increasing the availability of affordable housing, the recently approved plans, particularly in Mt. Freedom, threaten to impact the quality of life in Randolph. We advocate for sustainable development that respects our environment, prioritizes infrastructure investments to support growth without overburdening our resources, and provides equitable access to opportunities for all residents.
By fostering a balance between economic expansion and community well-being, we can ensure the Randolph continues to attract new businesses and residents, while preserving the essence of what makes Randolph a place where “Life is Worth Living.”
Affordability
We recognize the burden that rising property taxes place on homeowners and businesses alike, and we are dedicated to implementing prudent financial policies and practices that prioritize affordability for our residents.
Through careful budget management, strategic planning, and proactive measures to increase revenue streams, we aim to alleviate the strain on taxpayers while maintaining essential services and investing in the long-term future of the community.
By advocating for transparency, accountability, and efficiency in spending, we will work to ensure that every dollar is used wisely.
Representation
Representation is not just about holding office. It’s about amplifying the voices of every member of our diverse community. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every resident feels heard, valued, and empowered to participate in the decision-making processes that shape our town.
We recognize the importance of diverse perspectives in creating policies that reflect the needs and aspirations of our constituents. As candidates, we pledge to be accessible, responsive, and accountable to the people we serve.
By prioritizing collaboration and community engagement, we will ensure that Randolph is a place where everyone feels represented and respected.
Let’s work together.
