All four candidates support the preservation of Graydon. We believe that Steve would be the most effective in helping Graydon prosper and endure.

Steve says: “I am a committed supporter of preserving Graydon Park. Graydon Park is a natural treasure. This past summer proved that Graydon Pool is not only recreationally and aesthetically viable, but economically viable as well. The Pool must remain affordable, accessible and natural.” (The Ridgewood Blog, Oct. 30, 2010)

Why is Steve the best candidate?

Experienced in municipal government: will get up to speed quickly for this half-term Council position, which starts much sooner after the election than usual
Experienced in the law: would be the only attorney on the current Council, providing a needed source of independent legal expertise
Independent: won’t let private donations dictate public policy
Public minded: has served on several boards and founded an organization that provides free legal advice for families with hospitalized children (through Ronald McDonald House children’s charity)
Respectful: as a former judge, adept at maintaining civility in potentially contentious situations

If you are among the Preserve Graydon Coalition supporters who no longer live in Ridgewood, please consider asking your friends and relatives who still live here to cast their votes for Steve Wellinghorst. If you do live here, see you at the polls.

Where the heck are the candidates’ names on the ballot?
