“I extend my thanks to the people of Morris County for electing me to the office of Surrogate. Over the last few months they heard from both sides of the aisle, and I am honored that the ideas and positions I offered resonated with the voters yesterday. I would like to thank my field director, supporters, volunteers, and staff; their work helped to move the campaign forward daily and we would not be here today without them.
My opponent Michael Thompson ran a good race, and I wish him the best. While I cannot say that I am unhappy the voters did not choose him, I do want to commend him for standing up and running in the first place.
The Surrogate’s office is not a political office – but it is an important one. Every life will eventually come before the Surrogate’s court at least once. Whether it is a family dealing with the passing of a loved one, a child with special needs becoming an adult or in a moment of crisis when a family member suddenly needs a guardianship due to reasons like dementia, stroke, and accident related injury. My promise to you on this campaign was that I would guide families through those moments but also educate them on the benefits of planning ahead, and over the course of the next five years you will see just that.
Right now people simply don’t know about the Surrogate’s office, or what it does. We are going to change that. We are going to make it a well-known resource through outreach and education. We are going to make sure that people can find affordable legal representation and make the process very much accessible online for those who cannot easily visit the office in person due to significant physical limitations.
Finally, unscrupulous people so often prey on senior citizens and probate is a very public process that inspires such activity. I am proud that the people of Morris County have put me in a position where I am able to educate and help people defend themselves.

I have been fortunate to live in Parsippany for over 30 years. As we all know, Parsippany has a large, taxpaying, South Asian population that has added to the cultural diversity of our township. For many years our township’s South Asian community members have been advocating for a cricket field. In fact, I remember the first push for a cricket field in the early 2000s when I used play cricket with my kids and their friends on a sidewalk in my old apartment complex.
I was encouraged to hear that Mayor Soriano and the town council voted for the creation of a cricket field. However, I was disheartened when I heard that the Republican-led council cut funding for the field’s maintenance. This would eventually leave the field in disrepair and with conditions unsafe for play.I believe that electing new voices to the town council will allow this cricket field to be built and maintained. That is why on November 5th, I will be voting for Cori Herbig, Rob Kaminski & Judy Hernandez for Parsippany Town Council.
When Mayor Soriano ran in 2017, the theme of his campaign was “Cleaning up Parsippany.” This has been a continuing theme of his first term as mayor. Following this summer’s Town Council Ordinance banning single use plastic bags, he can check off another box on this theme thanks to the hard work of elected officials and residents of Parsippany.
But let’s first give credit where credit is due. Councilwoman Janice McCarthy, Environmental Committee Vice Chair and candidate for Council Judy Hernandez, Environmental Action Committee Chair Lisa Plevin, and others acted as the driving forces behind this ordinance. Their hard work was met with overwhelming support from Parsippany residents following more than a year of educating the public around town about the environmental and economic benefits of the ordinance.
We all remember the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle mantra started in the 1980’s and most of use have done a wonderful job of implanting this behavior into our homes. However, the complicated network used to properly transform our plastics into other usable products has started to become more costly and we need to revisit the neglected, yet most important part of the pyramid, Reduce. This plastic bag ban goes straight towards reducing our plastics usages and will save out town money in the disposal of these bags, not to mention the damages incurred from stray bags to our sewage infrastructure. This action will save our town considerable expense for years to come and helps us fulfill our obligation to protect the planet. Who says environmental policies can’t be win:win.
Although this new law may take some time for all of us to get used to, it goes without saying that Democratic leadership in town has proven that they want to work with residents with their future, and our town’s future, in mind. Without the efforts of the Democrats in power, this ordinance would not have even been brought to the table. Too often we have seen our entrenched leaders be content to deflect attention away from impactful issues and neglect our town’s resources by depriving the of necessary maintenance and investment. This is a refreshing change.
Democrats care about the issues at affect us all. They don’t neglect the town’s resources, or the responsibilities of their office and they don’t deflect attention away from difficult issues to protect their bid for re-election. Democrats get things done. If you want to continue to see our town progress further into the 21st century, please vote for the entire Democratic ticket in Parsippany.

TRENTON — Governor Phil Murphy ordered that the U.S. and New Jersey flags be flown at half-staff at all state buildings and facilities on Monday, November 4, in recognition of the passing of U.S. Representative Bill Hughes. Hughes a Democratic congressman in a heavily Republican part of New Jersey and later served as U.S. Ambassador to Panama under President Bill Clinton, died at his home on Wednesday. He was 87.
“Congressman Bill Hughes represented his South Jersey district for 20 years, but he was nothing less than a New Jersey icon,”said Governor Murphy. “He was a public school product and a Rutgers graduate two times over. As a prosecutor in Cape May, he fought to keep residents safe. As a respected Congressman, he fought to protect the Jersey Shore from polluters and the Pinelands from development. As U.S. Ambassador to Panama under President Clinton, he served our nation on the world stage.
“Tammy and I send our condolences to his children and their families, and to all who knew him and called him a friend. Congressman Hughes will continue to inspire future leaders through the work of the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton University, perhaps the most fitting tribute to his tremendous legacy.”
