Our Team.
We are a team of four neighbors, friends, and lifelong believers in the power of community, running together for West Cape May Commissioner. Each of us brings unique experience, but we share one vision: to preserve the small-town charm that makes West Cape May special, while creating opportunities for families, businesses, and neighbors to thrive.
West Cape May has always been a place where farms meet the sea, where history is treasured, and where neighbors look out for one another. We are committed to building on that tradition—strengthening the community we love, protecting our local heritage, and working toward thoughtful, positive change.
As candidates, we stand for:
-
Family: Ensuring West Cape May remains a safe, welcoming, and vibrant place for every generation.
-
Community: Supporting our local businesses, farms, and coastal traditions while encouraging neighborly connection.
-
Positive Change: Bringing fresh energy and new ideas that respect our past but prepare us for the future.
-
Preservation: Protecting the history, character, and natural beauty that make our town unlike any other.
Together, we are running not just as individuals, but as a team dedicated to working collaboratively—with each other and with you. Our promise is to listen, to lead with integrity, and to put the needs of West Cape May first.
We are proud to call this community our home, and we are ready to serve it with heart, vision, and commitment.
BALLOT CASTING QUESTIONS?
No matter who you choose to support, knowing your options is important. No one has the right to steer your decision, but there are two general approaches to consider when you vote.
"Bullet Voting"
What it is: You are allowed to vote for multiple candidates (say, 3), but you only cast a vote for one. Why people do it: It concentrates all your voting power on your top choice, instead of “spreading it out.” This can help if you have one candidate you strongly support and don’t want to risk helping their competition. Risk: If your single candidate doesn’t have enough broad support, you’ve left potential influence on the table by not using your other votes. It can also backfire if opposing groups vote in full “slates” and your side is fragmented.
"Slate Voting"
What it is: You cast the maximum number of votes allowed (for example, 3 votes for 3 candidates). Why people do it: It helps a group of aligned candidates (a “team” or “slate”) win together. If you support several candidates, voting for all increases their collective chances. Risk: By splitting your support, you dilute the boost your favorite would have received if you had “bulleted.” If one of your chosen candidates is much weaker, your vote for them doesn’t help much and could even hurt your top pick indirectly by strengthening the field overall.
