Meet the Candidate: Carlos Bernard

Bloomfield deserves a thoughtful neighbor such as Mr. Bernard serving on the municipal council.

The proud father of growing boys, Mr. Bernard is committed to providing safe and enjoyable recreation to Bloomfield’s children. As Third Ward Council he will ensure that existing Bloomfield open space is protected while improving our parks and recreational programs. Mr. Bernard will seek out opportunities for further open space preservation to give our children and families more space to enjoy Bloomfield’s natural environment.

To revitalize Bloomfield’s economy in these tough times, Mr. Bernard will continue progress on the Bloomfield Center redevelopment project and encourage local hiring for that and other construction efforts. Through this vision, along with ensuring that municipal taxes are kept low through energy efficiency and responsible government, Mr. Bernard will chart a course toward recovery and economic success.

As Bloomfield grows, it is important that the standards of safety and well-being we appreciate are protected. Mr. Bernard is committed to maintaining the strength of Bloomfield’s police and fire departments so that Third Ward residents and all Bloomfield citizens are safe and secure.
