My Plan
Bergen County’s current County Executive, Jim Tedesco, has increased the size of the budget by almost 40%, and raised county property taxes by over 20% since he took office. Our county is becoming unaffordable for many of our residents, especially seniors. As Bergen County Executive, I will return common sense to Bergen County government and schools by cutting Taxes, Teaching basic skills, reducing Traffic, Targeting criminals, and imposing Term limits.
Cut Property Taxes and Help Seniors and Veterans.
Cut the bloated county budget by doing operational audits on all services, imposing a county-wide hiring freeze, and utilizing technology and the private sector. Half of the savings to be used for property tax cuts, and the other half for property tax assistance for low-income seniors and veterans.
Fight for Parents’ Rights and Education Not Indoctrination in the Classroom.
Create school-based parent councils to advise local school boards on curriculum selection and require transparency. Eliminate critical race theory and gender fluidity indoctrination and focus teaching on basic skills.
Reduce Traffic
Fix the 20 worst traffic hot spots in the county as a priority, allow routine road repairs overnight only, and test banning truck traffic on county roads during rush hours.
Target criminals
Provide additional county support for local law enforcement, fight liberal prosecutors who let dangerous criminals back on the streets, and require illegal immigrants charged with another criminal offense to be presented to ICE for deportation.
Impose Term Limits
Restrict the County Executive to two 4-year terms.
