I’m writing to my fellow Democrats to once again thank you for your overwhelming support this past June in electing an entirely new Municipal Committee and in selecting our two Council candidates, John DeSimone and Darryl Whitter, to run as the Democratic candidates in the November General Election. I also want you to know that your Municipal Committee has been hard at work fulfilling the pledges we made during the campaign. We’ve created two new blogs: “LeoniaToday” (http://leoniatoday.blogspot.com), which provides current information on topics and issues that impact Leonia; and “LDMC” (http://leoniadmc.blogspot.com), where you can keep up-to-date on the activities of your Democratic Municipal Committee. Please visit both of these sites to see what your fellow Democrats and otherLeonians are up to.
We Leonians are being bombarded from every direction. We’re faced with rising taxes, fewer services, overdevelopment, and the impact of light rail. Although the changing times are creating new problems, John and Darryl are ready to be two strong voices on the Leonia Council in meeting the challenges head on. That is why it is so important for you to come out and vote for John and Darryl on Tuesday, November 2nd.
I also am asking that you support our fellow Democrats in Column 2 who share our same basic values. Steve Rothman, who heads our ticket, has been a super-effective Congressman. And our team in Hackensack, led by County Executive Dennis McNerney, has produced many benefits for Leonians, including:
- Completion of the “new” Overpeck Park
- Refurbishing the (North) Soccer Field and building six new tennis courts for use by our High School sports teams
- Serving thousands of Meals-on-Wheels to our seniors
- Paving Fort Lee Road
- Providing more than $1 million in open space and community block grants
The entire Democratic Team stands ready to support our local officials to build a better Leonia. So when you go to the polls on Tuesday, November 2nd, vote for John DeSimone and Darryl Whitter for Leonia Council, and for the entire Column 2 team.
Sincerely,
Bob Leap
Chairman, Leonia Democratic Municipal Committee
