United We Stand
Our Priorities
The Fight for Wanaque team is focused on practical, common-sense leadership that puts residents first.
Our priorities are rooted in transparency, accountability, thoughtful planning, and a deep commitment to protecting the long-term future of Wanaque and Haskell.
Transparent Government
Residents deserve clear communication from their local officials. We support a more open and accessible local government, including better communication with residents and broader public access to meetings and decision-making.
Smart, Appropriate Development
Development must be approached carefully and responsibly. Growth should benefit the community without creating burdens that outweigh the benefits, including impacts on taxes, services, and schools.
Responsible Spending
The tax burden on residents is one of the most important issues facing the community. We will look for ways to reduce unnecessary municipal spending while protecting essential services and keeping Wanaque and Haskell affordable for residents.

More Community Involvement
Residents should have meaningful opportunities to share their ideas and concerns about the future of the Borough. We support more community engagement, including town hall-style meetings and more accessible ways for residents to stay informed and involved.
Support for Small Business
Small businesses are an important part of the community. Local government should do a better job of supporting existing businesses and attracting appropriate new businesses that strengthen the Borough.
Stronger Communication
Too many residents feel disconnected from what is happening in town. We believe local government should communicate clearly, consistently, and respectfully so residents always know what is being planned and how it may affect them.
