Writer backs Frascella in U.F.

Iamwriting in support of Dr. Robert Frascella’s candidacy for Upper Freehold Township Committee. Over the last four years, I’ve had the opportunity to know Bob as a patient, neighbor and friend.

As a former political aide to Christie Whitman’s gubernatorial campaigns and personal aide to her office, I’ve come in contact with multiple primary and general election campaigns on a statewide basis. Seldomhave I ever had the opportunity to invest the time necessary to get to know a candidate before a campaign. Fortunately, I amin a position where I can share my observations.

Bob runs a successful restorative cosmetic practice in nearby Hamilton Square with nine employees. He will bring that same level of fiscal responsibility to local government. Community minded, he sponsors, manages and coaches the local Little League. He is an avid supporter of the Upper FreeholdAlliance to Prevent Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, as well as many charitable organizations. He also served our town as a member of the Planning Board.

Bob is an outdoorsman and conservationist and has earned many friendships throughout the new community as well as the farming community. He is dedicated to preserving our rural way of life, and that is why David Reed trusts Bob to replace the seat he so honorably served. We need a team builder – not a divider. He will be a liaison between the new residents of our town and the long-standing farming community. I am confident he will bring the same level of ethical commitment, dedication and passion that makes him a successful dentist, devoted husband, loving father and loyal friend.

Ultimately, I feel that Dr. Frascella represents what our township needs at this time. I urge everyone to vote for Dr. Robert Frascella, Republican, on June 3.
