Dear Editor:
I decided to seek the office of Assemblyman of the 31st District of New Jersey because we need responsible, honest and dedicated leadership to serve the people of our district. Someone who demonstrates these qualities is outgoing Assemblyman Jason O’Donnell, a gentleman who always conducted himself with respect, honor and dedication. My promise to the people of Bayonne and Jersey City is that I will continue to represent our district in the same manner, and I will answer to the people, not to political bosses.
Based on his past actions with the BLRA, I do not see the same qualities in Nicholas Chiavirlotti of Bayonne. Nor do I see them in his running mate, Angela McKnight, due to some of her past radical statements.
What our district needs most now is strong representation in Trenton, someone who will stand up for the needs of our region and its people. I have lived in this district my entire life. I grew up in the Greenville section of Jersey City, still have friends there and know its problems and needs. I came to Bayonne 43 years ago and raised my two daughters here. I love this city and will fight to make this area a better place for all its people.
We in the 31st District face many problems together, and together we will conquer these problems. We face challenges, but dedication and hard work will see us through. Our district holds a lot of promise and potential, opportunities that should make our future a bright one. But it will take the right leadership, the right decisions and the proper legislation in order for this bright future to come to fruition. Today I am reaching out to all of the people in the 31st District to ask for your help in paving the way for a brighter future for Bayonne and Jersey City. I am asking for your support as I seek the office of Assemblyman for the 31st District of New Jersey, and I am asking for your vote on Tuesday November 3, for myself and fellow candidate for Assembly Alexjandro Rodriguez.
Together we pledge to represent the district with honor, integrity, and dedication.
Anthony Zanowic
