“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.
