>Dear Supporters,
Last night my husband, , and another parent active in the community, Brian Dowd, announced their intention to run for the two Council seats that we believe will be vacated this year by David Pfund and Pat Mancuso. I will forward their bios as well as their position paper, but our immediate need is to collect 165 signatures from registered voters to enable them to be candidates. Here is the text of the message that was sent last evening, and I apologize of you already received this directly:
Dear Friends & Neighbors,
We are pleased to announce that we are running for the two Village Council seats that are available this year. We feel strongly that Ridgewood is a very special town that is reaching a pivotal point in its history, and it requires responsive government. As parents of school age children who plan to make the Village our home for many years, we are committed to preserving the fabric that makes our town unique, while providing the strong leadership and business acumen needed to manage our current fiscal situation and adequately plan for our future needs.
We look forward to discussing our thoughts with you in more detail in the coming weeks, but our immediate focus is to collect the 165 signatures needed to secure a place on the May 11 ballot.
We ask for your support by having each registered voter in your home sign both petitions by Friday, March 12. The petitions can be printed from:

Please note that each registered voter in your home may sign a maximum of two petitions this year. Additional nominations will be voided by the Village Clerk.
The signed petitions can be dropped at 404 Shelbourne Terrace
(mail slot located on front door), or, if you contact us, we are happy to pick them up.
Thank you very much for your support.
Sincerely,
Doug Cronk & Brian Dowd
