We’d love to have you be a part of our campaign. Reach out to us below and we’ll be in touch.
A New Jersey native, Hope, her husband Greg and daughter Lily joined the Tewksbury Community in 2013. They loved the wide open spaces and character of Hunterdon County. True to form, Hope soon jumped right into her new home town. Utilizing her background in Urban and Regional Planning and Landscape Architecture, she built a reputation as a dedicated, thoughtful, and collaborative leader on the various Boards and Commissions to which she has been appointed.
She serves as an Environmental Commissioner, chairs the Parks and Recreation Committee, Chairs Board Development for the Tewksbury Education Foundation, is a founding member of the Tewksbury Green Team and most recently was appointed to the Township’s Ad-Hoc Committee on Stormwater Management. Hope is also on the Board of Directors at the Barat Foundation, a nonprofit educational corporation, based in Newark, dedicated to expanding creative opportunities for marginalized populations throughout NJ.
Hope has always taken a careful and balanced approach to bringing functional policies and initiatives forward and to completion. With a solid track record of utilizing cooperative leadership, fiscal prioritization, critical thinking and innovation, she has utilized her expertise in strategic program management to execute almost one billion dollars in revitalization and redevelopment, environmental, parks, resiliency and infrastructure projects.
She has worked in coordination with countless Federal, State and local Agencies from FEMA to Homeland Security to NJDEP to mitigate potential project hurdles and find a way forward. Now more than ever we need leaders who are willing to and know how to work towards solutions. Leaders who have the expertise to meet the challenges associated with climate resiliency and revitalization of New Jersey’s downtowns.
Nick credits his family for his passion for public service. His mother especially instilled in him from an early age to ‘think of others, before yourself.’ To Nick, these were more than just words. It has become a way of life for him. As a young boy he volunteered at his local church, and later in high school participated in the YMCA civic engagement programs. As a proud Eagle Scout, Nick took on the project of restoring the Landsdown Trail in Clinton that so many of us enjoy hiking today.
Nick is well prepared to take on the challenges that face LD23. In addition to his business and economic studies at Rutgers University, he has taken on many roles working at his family’s textile business that his grandfather founded in 1946. Whether he was needed in the warehouse or in the office preparing invoices, Nick learned all aspects of the business. He understands the meaning of a hard day’s work and like other small business owners is aware of the importance of having elected officials that you can depend upon for help and assistance in times of trouble, especially like the ones we experienced in 2020. Nick will utilize his business skills when making sound and rational decisions as your Assemblyman.
This past year during the COVID-19 pandemic, Nick took on a monumental challenge while serving as Rutgers University Student Body President. He was instrumental in creating the first COVID-19 student government relief program in the nation, acting before Congress, which has provided emergency relief to students needing assistance with rent or facing food insecurity. But Nick didn’t stop there and decided to take on an environmental challenge by encouraging the University through a student referendum to divest its endowment from fossil fuel investments. Together by helping to empower and connect a coalition of stakeholders, Nick played a key role in encouraging the University to take proactive steps towards Carbon Neutrality and Climate Resilience. Nick will bring the values of service from our state university to the state house.
Nick’s family moved from Piscataway to Pittstown when he was a young boy. He can’t imagine leaving bucolic Hunterdon County and has continued to make Pittstown his home.
