New Milford, NJ, March 28, 2014 – The New Milford Democratic Club proudly announces its candidates for the 2014 general election: Council President Randi Duffie for Mayor and Councilwoman Hedy Grant and Ulises Cabrera for Council. 

Council President Randi Duffie said, “I am very excited about this ticket. Hedy brings a wealth of experience in substantive issues and problems facing New Milford as well as in policy and procedure and Ulises has an excellent understanding of the issues of greatest concern to New Milford residents.

Together, Duffie, Grant and Cabrera will spend the next seven months having an open dialog with the people of New Milford to ensure that their government will meet their needs and expectations.

“I am confident that our reliance on verifiable facts will expose the many misleading and even false statements being disseminated by our opposition." commented Councilwoman Grant.

Mr. Cabrera stated that he knows many residents “who have been very unhappy” with the Mayor over the past few years and are looking for a change. He added that, “It is unfortunate that the level of trust people have in her decision making has been eroding for some time.”

Ulises has been involved in a variety of local organizations, committees and recreational programs in town and is looking forward to utilizing his knowledge and experience to help ensure, along with Duffie and Grant, that the governing body is truly of, by and for the people of New Milford.

Randi Duffie, Hedy Grant and Ulises Cabrera will “STAND UP FOR NEW MILFORD” by continuing to fight for the ten principles the New Milford Democrats have established to promote the health, well-being and quality of life of the residents of the borough of New Milford:    

• Limit the municipal tax burden 

• Maintain valuable borough services

• Increase public safety

• Guard the rights of tenants and seniors

• Protect the environment and preserve open space

• Enhance recreational fields, parks, playgrounds and programs

• Aggressively pursue partnerships, shared services and grant opportunities

• Invest in the local business community

• Ensure transparency and ethics in government 

• Listen to the concerns of the residents
