REPUBLICANS CANGEMI, MIZZI TO RUN FOR RED BANK COUNCIL

Former Councilwoman Grace Cangemi and Joseph Mizzi announced today that they would be seeking the Republican nomination for Red Bank Borough Council in the upcoming municipal election.

Cangemi, who served on council in 2007 and 2008 said she looked forward to getting back into the fray.

 “Unfortunately, many of the same issues which I’ve been talking about since 2008 are still issues which need to be addressed,” said Cangemi. “Tough decisions need to be made and they need to be made in an environment that is open and transparent. This council doesn’t seem to recognize that affordability is the most important issue that residents and businesses face, maybe because their one party control has insulated them from the people who need them to take serious action.  We need a borough government that is both transparent and responsive.  The current council fails on both counts.”

Mizzi, a finance professional and part time economics professor, agreed and said the council needed some different voices.

“Unfortunately, when you have one party rule for so long, a kind of groupthink sets in and no dissenting views are considered,” said Mizzi. “I thought when Grace was on council she brought a different perspective that was refreshing and that’s what we’d both like to do again; challenge old assumptions and see if there isn’t a better way of doing things.”
