New Kids on the Block

Some people anxiously await the Super Bowl...but I've always found Election Day to be far more exciting (although I will concede the commercials aren't as good). As always, it brings changes and this year, we have a new Assemblyperson with the election of South Orange's own Mila Jasey. In neighboring Maplewood, there is a new member of the Township Committee, Lester Lewis-Powder. And Monday night at the Board of Education, they appointed Sandra Karriem to fill a vacancy.

I have met each of these people briefly and think they will all bring great things to their respective positions. I urge them all to always remember who they are and to bask in the glory of victory now...because the political honeymoon will inevitably be as short lived as the promises people make to not drink as much at the next Super Bowl!

Congratulations to Mila, Lester and Sandra!
