As I finish my term on the Hardyston Board of Education, I’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand how deeply our schools are affected by decisions made in Trenton. Over the years, I’ve also had the pleasure of playing golf and talking often with Jack Ciattarelli — and I know him well. Jack listens, understands, and genuinely cares about putting Kids First.
Our district has been underfunded for far too long. This has placed tremendous strain on educators, administrators, and board members who are trying to do more with less. I’ve shared these concerns directly with Jack, and I’m confident that as governor, he will fix New Jersey’s broken school funding formula. Jack will ensure that operating costs, facility upgrades, and teacher benefits are all fairly accounted for so every district — including Hardyston — gets the resources our students deserve.
This November, I urge voters to support Jack Ciattarelli for Governor and the Kids First Team of Ellis Marples, Dana Kalczuk, and Ed Reinle for the Hardyston Board of Education. Together, they’ll make sure our schools are funded fairly and that every child’s future comes first.
