It is my absolute honor to write in support of my dear friend, Reshma Adwar, who is running for a Town Council seat in my ward, Ward 1. I actually heard about Reshma before I ever met her! My son, then in third grade, came home beaming with excitement telling me how another student’s mom - Reshma - ...

Today, we’re living through a period where our politics has the power to turn neighbor against neighbor. It’s not something I’m used to. And it’s not an environment in which I want to raise my kids. While we can’t individually affect the direction of our national politics, we can each play an import...

Jenn Gilman was one of the first people I met when I moved to Westfield nearly ten years ago. I am lucky enough to be her neighbor and to also call her a good friend. To this day, she is still the person I turn to for anything local! Why? Because whether it’s road paving, school PTO matters, pool ho...

As a 13-year resident and Chair of the Pool Committee for the Westfield Recreation Commission, I cannot imagine a person better suited to lead Westfield than Jenn Gilman.

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of support for Reshma Adwar in her pursuit of a Town Council seat in Westfield, NJ.

I am proud to submit this letter in support of Jeremy Berman for mayor. My family and I moved to Westfield in the summer of 2020—a time that was anything but ordinary.

When my dear friend Reshma Adwar told me she was running for Westfield Ward 1 Town Council, I knew she’d be perfect for the job. Reshma is the kind of person who shows up when you need her, remembers the little things that matter, and gives her time generously without being asked. Being close to her...

When I ran for town council eight years ago, I challenged myself to push through my natural reticence in meeting new people and striking up conversations. I felt strongly about wanting to serve Ward 2 and was confident in my convictions, commitment and my ability to do the job well, but I knew that ...

Having served as a Councilperson and Mayor since 2017, I have seen firsthand the disconnect between local municipalities and the State government. So many times, even with good intentions, the mandates that come down from the State leave local towns holding the bag. As a Mayor, Steve Fulop comes to ...

I am writing to enthusiastically endorse Reshma Adwar for Westfield’s Ward One. Reshma has not only been a close personal friend for the last two decades, but is one of my favorite people. I've celebrated the birth of children with Reshma and her family, spent time together on vacation, and been luc...
