Important municipal election TOMORROW, Tuesday, May 10

In Tuesday’s municipal election, Ridgewood voters will choose three fellow residents to serve on the Village Council for the next four years.

To preserve and protect Ridgewood by moving forward cautiously and thoughtfully, we recommend voting for:

ROW 1            Jeffrey VOIGT

ROW 4            Bernadette COGHLAN-WALSH

ROW 6            Ramon M. HACHE

Polls will be open from 6 AM to 8 PM on Tuesday, May 10.

These independent candidates are not running as a team. They are neither beholden to the current “council majority” nor supported by developers.

Please click “X” next to the three candidates with little slogans above their names on the ballot in three languages.

Every vote counts. In 2012, the die was cast by fewer than 10 votes.

Hoping for a large turnout!
