District 9 Representatives Returning to Galloway Next Tuesday

Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove return to Galloway Township next Tuesday night, Feb. 21, the District 9 representatives announced Tuesday morning.

The event, to be held at the municipal complex at 7 p.m., is being labelled a "Meet the Legislators" night, and is designed for the legislators to meet constituents in both Galloway Township and Port Republic, which both became part of the ninth district last year.

“The purpose of this event is to provide our Delegation with the opportunity to meet and speak with our new constituents," the legislators said in a joint release Tuesday morning. "To more effectively represent our district, we have always actively solicited input from constituents on those issues most important to them."

The representatives appeared at a Galloway Township Council meeting shortly after becoming the township's representatives, and have also taken tours of the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's Mainland Campus and the Bacharach Institute. They have also appeared at council meetings in Port Republic.  

“We fully recognize there are issues unique to Galloway and Port Republic that our Delegation would like to have a better understanding of from the perspective of local residents, the legislators said. "We would also like to provide an overview of the constituent service work done at our District Office which continues to be a hallmark of our representative efforts."
