PARK RIDGE, NJ – A recall effort to remove Park Ridge Board of Education member Robert Fisher has now reached the Superior Court of New Jersey, following a highly contested decision by the Bergen County Clerk that disqualified over 2,100 valid petition signatures — a move recall supporters say undermines the New Jersey Constitution and the fundamental rights of voters.

Park Ridge NJ, with the ink barely dry on his high school diploma, a political activist from Bergen County will serve on the board that governs the school district he just graduated from. Robert Fisher, an 18-year-old trailblazer, has gained notoriety in Bergen County as the former Field Director for Senator Holly Schepisi (R-River Vale) and the youngest member of the Bergen County Republican Organization (BCRO)’s policy committee. He is one of three candidates running for the three seats of the Park Ridge Board of Education this fall and will succeed retiring members Deborah Clare and Lauren Sum. He is unopposed for the office, along with incumbent Natalie Agoos and newcomer Rachelle Browne. Fisher says he is eager to serve on the board but wants to make systemic changes to a school district he believes is failing students.
