Brian Maher, West Windsor
I have had the privilege to serve with Councilman Pete Mendonez for the past two years on the West Windsor Township Council and wish to endorse his candidacy for Assembly in the 15th District.
I believe Peter to be an exemplary candidate for Assembly as he has eagerly embraced the needs and concerns of his constituents in West Windsor and I am certain he will do the same for the residents of the 15th District. Peter consistently puts forward innovative solutions to complex issues in an effort to improve our quality of life. His relative youth is energizing and he brings a fresh perspective to Central Jersey politics, in my view.
Both Peter and I take pride in the fact that we are not career politicians. To be sure, Peter has a successful and all-encompassing business career. Following college, where he graduated with a degree in electrical engineering, he worked for IBM and PSE&G before co-founding a solar and battery storage company.
His experience in business has led him to develop a practical consensus-building leadership style. He is driven by solutions and not ideology, which, in my view, puts him in sharp contrast to the incumbents who consistently vote to raise taxes and undermine business growth. This view is supported by Peter’s track record on the West Windsor Township Council, where he successfully championed for an energy aggregation initiative for the municipal government’s energy needs. This initiative incorporated both renewable energy sources and cost savings for West Windsor taxpayers.
In short, Pete is the type of leader we need in the 15th district. He is an experienced businessman, not a career politician, who will represent the needs of families and business, while simultaneously promoting sustainability. On Nov. 3, please join me in voting for Peter Mendonez, a true leader who brings innovative solutions to the challenges we face in the 15th District.
Bryan Maher
President
West Windsor Council
