We have had the distinct pleasure of serving on the township committee with Deputy Mayor Gloria McCauley and Committeeman Doug Tomson. We have been privileged to work with and see firsthand the positive contributions that they have brought to this town in their many years of public service to Hillsborough. We are proud to endorse both of these outstanding public servants and leaders for re-election to the township committee.
Gloria McCauley, a 30-year resident, and Doug Tomson, lifetime resident, of Hillsborough, have consistently shown their dedication to our community with an unrelenting focus on ensuring that the needs of our residents are met. They are both hard working, disciplined, and focused individuals of high character and integrity, in addition to being extremely effective leaders for Hillsborough.
They are committed to making Hillsborough a better place for our residents, and more importantly, for Hillsborough’s children. Their decisions and actions remain true to their core principles of fiscal responsibility, a business-like approach to municipal government, preservation of open space, economic growth and support for our business community, and open and transparent government.
With their leadership and support, the municipal government has kept taxes flat the past two years and spending at the lowest level (per capita) in the region, improved its credit rating to AA+, significantly increased the number of acres of preserved land, opened Mountain View Park and expanded programs for our seniors and veterans.
Through the efforts of the Republican led township committee, we have strived to keep Hillsborough as One of the Best Places to Live in America. Hillsborough continues to be recognized by a number of well-respected third party sources as a model community. Recognitions include “Best Places to Live”, “Safest Cities in America to Raise a Child” and “Playful City USA”.
In Hillsborough, your elected officials work as a team. Gloria McCauley and Doug Tomson have consistently proven themselves to be the type of public servants and leaders of which we can all be proud. We strongly endorse their re-election. We humbly ask that you join us on November 7 to vote Gloria McCauley and Doug Tomson for township committee.
