Ridgewood, NJ – Citizens for a Better Ridgewood (CBR) is pleased to announce that we will be endorsing Jeff Voigt, Bernadette Coughlan-Walsh and Ramon Hache for VillageCouncil in the May 10th municipal election.
CBR is committed to ensuring that Ridgewood engages in inclusive and comprehensive
planning that will promote reasonable and appropriate growth and progress, while preserving the character, size and scale of our Village for generations to come. “We believe Jeff, Bernadette and Ramon will make decisions that protect and improve the quality of life of Ridgewood residents, as the next Village Council addresses opportunities and challenges that will impact us all,” said Trustee Amy Bourque.

CBR met with all six candidates and chose to endorse Voigt, Walsh and Hache because they support CBR’s goal of comprehensive planning for the future of Ridgewood. These three candidates are dedicated to community engagement that allows residents a voice in their future, and will exercise independent judgment always in the best interest of Village residents. Lori Weil noted, “we feel these three candidates will work hard to thoughtfully address the many issues facing Ridgewood, and trust they are best prepared to move toward the future while still maintaining the charm and character of our Village.”
Hmm, so now CRR, CBR and Schedler folks all put their support behind Voigt, Hache and Walsh while Albert, Paul and Gwenn are backing the other three. The choice is completely clear isn’t it? If you are happy with the current state of affairs and would like it to continue for four more years you know who to vote for. If the idea of becoming Montclair, Englewood, Hackensack or New Brunswick is not appealing vote for Voigt, Hache and Walsh.
Make sure you tell people about ballot positions. Voight Row 1, Coghlan-Walsh Row 4 and Hache Row 6
CBR was not able to bring many people on March 23rd. If CBR is really serious, are they doing any real get out and vote campaigns? Just endorsing is not going to help.
who ever wins needs to build up the services that we had in the past.
There was no need to pack that March 23 meeting, politically it was a done deal. Now is when it counts.
Agree with 533 – – we need to get the vote out in favor of these excellent candidates – – Voigt, row 1; Walsh Row 4 and Hache, Row 6!!
8:38 pm .. what services?
“There was no need to pack that March 23 meeting, politically it was a done deal.” Exactly. I have been involved but did not bother to ask any friends to attend that night, in fact when asked I told them not to bother as it had been more than obvious nothing would sway the trio.
