    *************************************************************
    Do we really want more of the same old "follow-the-party" representation?    I say no.
    It's time to change to new dynamic representation in Washington.

    • Are you fed up with partisan gridlock in Washington?
    • Do you feel that running the United States is too important a job to leave to career politicians with no business experience?
    • Do you want a representative who thinks of - and votes for - your interests first instead of what the party leadership or special interests demand?
    • Do you feel that too many of your tax dollars are carved up in backroom deals?

    Washington needs a change to efficient, effective, reasonable, logical, and independent decision making. Only a person with judgment, common sense, knowledge, and experience can provide this positive change. Because I have been a businessman for over 35 years and used to making decisions that affect the lives of employees, I can provide reason and logic to the chaos that is currently known as Washington politics. In the small business environment, you cannot allow politics or ideology to trump judgment and common sense or you are out of business quickly.

    Under my leadership, Associated Fire Protection has served the community and its employees with competence, trustworthiness, and honor doing its part to protect the people of New Jersey.

    In addition, I have volunteered my time to many community organizations serving as Chairman of the Paterson Chamber of Commerce, on the Board of Trustees of St Josephs Hospital, as Chairman of the Paterson Economic Development Corporation, as a member of the Paterson Education Fund, and as Vice Chairman of the Montclair Redevelopment Agency. Not only has this service given me valuable experience in solving problems and making policy decisions, it has given me the ability to implement and execute them as well.
