To the editor:
We are writing as a group to reaffirm our support of those who believe in making our community welcoming, inclusive, and fair. We will continue to champion those committed to fiscal responsibility and low municipal taxes so that Hopewell Township, its residents, and its businesses can continue to flourish. We will continue to speak in support of those who will responsibly manage growth and state-mandated affordable housing while continuing to listen and respond to the community they have been elected to serve.
We have renewed our commitment to fighting for our ideals in the wake of the 2016 election and the ensuing violations of democracy at all levels of government over the past year and a half. Be assured: we will continue to speak up and fight for what is right, regardless of the attacks—personal or partisan—that come for standing up for our beliefs.
We speak up for and support our Democratic mayor and committee members for one reason and one reason only: we also believe in fairness, fiscal responsibility, inclusivity, and service to the community—full stop.
