“Entrepreneur. Small Businesswoman. Fiscal Conservative. Loyal.
These are the qualities that Linda T. Barba possesses and that is why I am backing her candidacy to be the next Bergen County Executive.
For years, and especially in the aftermath of COVID-19, Linda has spent day in and day out supporting and promoting local small businesses. She understands that the backbone of Bergen County is not comprised of career politicians and their out of county cronies, but of the men and women who work each and every day in small businesses throughout this great County. In my opinion, Linda is the ideal person to be the Republican Party’s standard bearer heading into this year’s election.

Hackensack NJ, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco participated in the Bergen Volunteer Center’s Friday Forum “SUPERCHARGED” on the topic of electric vehicles. Transitioning away from combustion engines to alternative fuel vehicles (AFV’s) is an important step towards reducing emissions, yet, up until 2021, it was nearly impossible for counties and local municipalities to procure AFV’s including of hybrid, electric, hydrogen, and fuel cell vehicles through capital funds. Being a priority for my administration, our team at the County had been working with the Bergen legislative delegation since 2018 to change NJ fiscal bond law to allow these purchases just like any other SUV or truck and thankfully the change was signed into law last November.
