State needs leaders who are solutions-oriented

Jack M. Ciattarelli, Hillsborough
Every New Jersey state legislator needs to be keenly focused not on what gridlocks government, but on making New Jersey a better place to live, work and retire. We can achieve that goal by providing high-quality education for our children; ensuring fair state funding of public schools; reforming public pension systems; reducing property taxes; eliminating estate taxes; and protecting our environment.
In addressing these issues, we need elected officials who are solutions-oriented, not career politicians who are politically motivated. We need elected officials serious about making our communities better and more affordable for everyone. We need elected officials who understand that people long for a different kind of leadership today — leadership that is honest, independent, fearless but humble, principled but not uncompromising, and committed to working in a bi-partisan way to get things done. I’ve worked very hard to distinguish myself in these ways.
I’m up for re-election this year, as is my running mate, Assemblywoman Donna Simon. It would be an honor to continue serving in the New Jersey Legislature as Assemblyman for the 16th District, which includes Princeton and South Brunswick.
Please come out to the polls to cast your vote on Election Day, Nov. 3. 
