I am grateful to be a member of the PCCLC and have their support and endorsement as we represent over 35,000+ Union members and families here in Passaic County.

I'm honored to have the support of both of our Hawthorne Mayoral Candidates, Republican John Lane and Democrat Joe Wotjecki. BOE is non-partisan and I'm glad to work with everyone who loves and cares for our town! 

I am grateful to have the support of the Hawthorne Teacher's Association and hope to build a good working relationship with our education system's most valuable resource - our teachers!
