Local elections are not just local elections. The people who are running can be expected to support those of the same party all the way to the presidency. So, a vote for local “nice guy” Republicans is really a vote for the Republican congress, president and all they stand for and against.
Do you approve or disapprove of President Trump? Do you approve or disapprove of this Republican congress? If you disapprove of either, vote Democratic to hold these people in check, including those who support Trump at the local level.
Regarding the governor’s race: the governor of New Jersey has the power to stop the PennEast pipeline. Stop it cold. So vote for Phil Murphy, as his opponent isn’t likely to stop it any more than Christie did.
In Hopewell Township, there are only two candidates who have actual experience and knowledge of important issues facing the township – taxes, the environment, affordable housing, PennEast. These people are Democrats Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Michael Ruger.
Most importantly, do vote. Ability to vote in secret is a gift we have that we too often take for granted.
Please vote for Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Finance Committee member Michael Ruger for Hopewell Township Committee. Fine people, with experience, who you can count on not to support the Republican agenda in Washington, D.C.
