A focus on good government in NJ: Manville
Manville, New Jersey, is a great town located in Somerset County.
Home to about 11,000 people, the town has had its share of hardships including massive flooding from Hurricane Ida in September 2021.
As we saw with the destructive floods that last week's storms delivered to Warren County, local leadership matters.
Councilman Joe Lukac is one of the strongest advocates for his constituents and a tireless public servant.
Joe joined us to discuss the flooding in 2021 and the steps that local government is taking in order to protect the town's residents going forward. We touched on law enforcement and budgeting as well.
As I've been saying across the state with our "common sense" tour, the most important office holders in NJ are at the municipal level. Many people look at government from the top down, thinking that electing a new president or a new governor will put things back on track.
As we've learned over the decades, electing someone at the top won't matter if you don't have strong, smart, courageous leaders on the ground. Joe Lukac meets all the criteria.
He's running for mayor this year and he's got my full support.
Joe talked about the critical job the local fire department played in helping residents during the flooding and every day. Volunteer Fire Company No. 3 needs your help!
