HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP: Candidates thank residents for vision

To the editor: 
The election of 2016 is now behind us. Michael Ruger and I would like to thank the residents of Hopewell Township for allowing us to talk to them, learn what encourages and worries them, and listen to their vision for the future of Hopewell Township. We enjoyed meeting you and are very grateful for your support and for your careful attention to the challenging issues before your township.
We would like to congratulate John Hart and thank Todd Brant for his service to the community. I will look forward to working with Mr. Hart and the rest of the Township Committee on finding responsible solutions to the challenges ahead of us.
The community will benefit when we all work toward the same goal.
We would also like to thank our families for their unending support during this busy time. We are grateful for the sacrifices you made and the help you gave us while we worked to help build a better Hopewell Valley. 
