By Saul "Mike" Shapiro, South Brunswick
To the editor:
This letter is to express my steadfast support of Deven Patel’s candidacy for the South Brunswick Township Board of Education.
Mr. Patel is a highly respected resident of the Dayton Center community, where he resides with wife and 8-year-old triplets, who attend elementary school in the district.
Mr. Patel’s credentials are impeccable.
He is a civil engineer with the New Jersey Department of Transportation and serves on the Transportation Advisory Committee of the township.
He is also a member of the Middlesex County Transportation Coordinating Committee, offering his expertise to better our community.
Last year, Mr. Patel also served on the board of the Dayton Center Home Association.
This election is important to our township. We need a strong, independent board member that can strike a balance between the needs of the children and taxpayer concerns.
Mr. Patel has the ability to see both sides of the issue and contribute thoughtful, practical solutions to the challenges facing the Board of Education today.
Mr. Deven Patel will certainly have my vote on April 27.
