When elected, I promise to do all I can to represent and advocate for the best interests of ALL!

Did you Know. . .
The Fair Lawn Borough Council which governs our town has five members who serve four year terms. Members are elected every other year on odd numbered years with either two or three seats coming up for election as part of the November general election. In this election you will be voting for one seat in a "special election" in this General Election. All policy making power is concentrated in the council. At an annual reorganization meeting held after each election, the council selects a mayor, a deputy mayor, and a deputy mayor for community affairs from among its members. Since January of 2018, all five council seats are filled with members of the Democratic Party. In fact, here in Fair Lawn, every level of representation - town, county, state, and federal - is controlled by the Democratic Party. It’s time for a change this November! It’s time for a new voice, new ideas, and checks & balances!
Three ways to vote in the 2024 General Election:
- Vote By Mail - secure and convenient via drop box or US Mail.
- Vote in person - early voting at designated locations throughout Bergen County.
- Vote in person on election day at designated polling location.
