We Need Leaders to Put Politics Aside & Address Local Issues
The veteran leadership team is ready to do just that. For Bob, Tom and Keith, Marlton is so much more than where they call home. It's the community which has given them everything. As residents with kids and grandkids in town, they want to dedicate the next four years to giving back and putting Evesham on the right track.
Bob, Tom & Keith want to focus on ideas and policies that are important to making our community better for families.
Smarter Growth
Prevent Congestion and Tax Increases
As longtime Marlton residents, we witnessed our town grow from a small farming community into the bustling suburb it is today. We need members on council who will champion smart growth policies to sustain our town, create more rateables to stop overwhelming tax increases, all the while ensuring we are protecting open space.
Our goal is to reinvision Main Street Marlton as a more walkable and densely zoned area of town. This will bring in new businesses to provide residents an area to shop, dine, work, and play. We want to turn abandoned buildings and dilapidated areas into new opportunities for our community and it's entrepreneurs.
Support Local Police
Keep Our Community & Schools Safe
Bob, Tom & Keith understand the importance of supporting first responders who serve our community. Evesham Township police do a great job of keeping our community safe and cracking down on crime incidents here in town. To prevent recent spikes in crime from striking here in our hometown, we will be pro-police champions on town council and ensure that the men and women of the Evesham Police Department have the resources they need in the line of duty.
Additionally, we want to fully fund the SRO program in Evesham schools. Amid education cuts from Trenton, we want to step in to make sure our SRO program remains strong and present to protect kids in our schools.
Support Local Schools
WORK WITH SCHOOLS TO EMPOWER STUDENTS & PARENTS
Bob, Tom & Keith are dedicated to collaborating with schools in Evesham to support students and parents amid state budget cuts to local education. They believe in the transformative power of education and are committed to ensuring that budget constraints do not hinder the schools that are a large part of making Evesham a special community for working families. By collaborating closely with the school districts, DiEnna, DeMarsey & Roman aim to advocate for additional resources, develop innovative funding solutions, and identify greater opportunities for shared services to cut back on costs. Their goal is to create a supportive environment where every student can thrive, and every parent feels empowered to contribute to their child's educational journy.
Protect Open Space
Promote Parks & Recreation
Bob, Tom & Keith are committed to protecting open space and promoting recreational programs to enhance community well-being. They understand that preserving green spaces is crucial for environmental health and quality of life. By investing in recreational programs, including pickleball courts and supporting youth sports programs, they aim to foster active lifestyles and strong community bonds. DiEnna, DeMarsey & Roman believe that accessible recreational facilities encourage physical fitness, social interaction, and personal growth. Their vision includes creating vibrant, well-maintained spaces where everyone can enjoy sports and outdoor activities, helping to build a healthier and more connected community.
Put the People First... Not Politics
Evesham is Plauged by Politicans Acting for Political Gain... It's Time to Put an End to That
As it currently stands, Evesham politicians are more focused on infighting over political issues rather than implimenting policies for the good of our town. While Main Street businesses shutter and taxes continue to increase (7.5% over the past two years), our local "leaders" are more dedicated to providing municipal contracts to their big donors and giving their friends jobs in our Municipal building.
We believe it doesn't have to be this way. Our intentions are simple; we want to give back to our town by implementing policies that will promote smart growth, support local services, and work to make Evesham more affordable and accessible for young families and current resdients. None of this will be achieved by continuing to follow the leadership of current elected officials who have proven they are not dedicated to solutions.
At this time in our country, we want to make it our main goal to put politics aside and focus on making Evesham Township a better community.
