Sen. Diane Allen Endorses Republican Council Candidates

The Republican candidates have also been endorsed by their GOP cohorts on the Burlington County freeholder board.

Republican town council candidates Phil Garwood, Victoria Napolitano and Pete Palko picked up an endorsement from Moorestown native and District 7 Senator Diane Allen this week.

In a letter from Allen, she wrote, “The Garwood, Napolitano and Palko team have a real plan to keep Moorestown’s taxes in check, eliminate government waste and be responsive to the needs of their constituents. Their team supports protecting and building on Moorestown’s robust open space program, and will fight to protect and preserve the many natural treasures that this town has to offer.”

She added, “Phil, Victoria and Pete are committed to reviving Moorestown’s local business districts from Main Street to Camden Avenue, and will restore this town’s economic climate to where it deserves to be.”

“We are unbelievably proud to receive an endorsement from such a prominent and respected figure in Burlington County politics,” Garwood stated. “Diane Allen has been a strong advocate in Trenton for the taxpayers of the state of New Jersey, and we plan on mirroring her commitment to reining in taxes and reducing government waste as members of town council.”

Napolitano said the candidates, if elected, would work closely with Allen to “expand our town’s open space programs, preserve our town’s history, and help keep Moorestown’s retail districts open for business.”
