Eliminate Corruption & Backdoor Dealings in Bergen on Nov 6th...
Bergen County voters, we must keep Cureton (and others) out of our government. Please read this important article!

To our fellow Bergen County residents, allow us to plead with you...please vote on November 6th.
We can’t draft a lengthy article on the subject, so we will quickly ask that you consider the following, brief summary.
We need to put Democrat vs. Republican vs. Independent on the side and appreciate that our mission this election is to rid our county of alleged, corrupt politicians, before it is too late. The alleged backroom deals surrounding land development and other matters will line the pockets of some, while destroying our county in the process.

Topping this list at the County level is ensuring that under NO circumstance should Anthony Cureton ever see the front door to the Sheriff’s office! Many of us learned of this man when he visited Mahwah’s Town Hall, insulted and slandered the town’s residents based off of untrue rhetoric. When you consider who escorted him to that meeting, it only further proves how little this man can be trusted. You can also refer to the audio and video of when he poisoned the halls of Mahwah’s Town Hall.
At first, we were advocating for Robert Tormo for Sheriff. But as mentioned, it was not an endorsement. But what has become clear is that the two-party system continues to destroy our ability to choose a third option and the primary focus MUST be on keeping Cureton out of the Sheriff’s chair. Therefore, we are asking that you please vote for Jack DeLorenzo.

As we also noted, coming together to vote for one candidate, ensuring we protect our county from Cureton at all costs has to be our primary goal! Enforcement is at the foundation of what we need, to protect against illegal behavior from crooked politicians in Bergen County towns, land developers and those who are bankrolling all of them. Keeping Cureton out of the way will be a giant step in ensuring our county stays secure.
He also has a track record and reputation of being short tempered, as well as abusing women. While part of his record was expunged and the officer he allegedly abused was later found to tamper with evidence...the case against her has a lot of holes and can be perceived as made up to dampen the impact of Cureton’s behavior. Here is an article from 2003 on the subject-

PLEASE share this and if you have a few bucks, create a Facebook ad to target Bergen County. Cureton has money and is well-connected. We must get this message out there, including seniors. Please print this if you can and share it.
Other races we must focus on-
We are not endorsing any candidate here, including DeLorenzo, above. We chose the following candidates based on one of three factors-
- They are the only option against the incumbent
- They have a strong presence based on what we can tell and if running against a few candidates (e.g. Sheriff), are the best option to best-ensure we don’t split the vote
- They do not seem to have the political ties that should concern us
As for the rest of the candidates, we are not going to name every person running. Instead, we are going to reference a few key races where we need to come together as one community. Please share this with your friends and neighbors. We can’t afford to vote along party lines because we don’t recognize a name. And while we’re not asking that every person become equally as engaged with local politics, we are pleading with you to help protect Bergen County on November 6th.
Finally, you will notice I haven’t included any Democrats. I’d love to...I truly would. But the Democratic party in this state is so allegedly filled with corruption that it is sickening.
James Tedesco has GOT to go. Please reference previous articles for details on who this man truly is. Tracy Zur has got to go as a county Freeholder, as well.
Here is who we hope we can all vote for-
Norman Schmeltz for County Executive
Hector Olmo for Freeholder
Eric Kulmala for Freeholder
John McCann for Congress
Gottheimer chose to compare Mahwah’s residents to the protesters in Charlottesville, without any evidence or legit reason. Josh is heavily supported by the same man who escorted Cureton to Mahwah.
We know we haven’t offered much in the way of details...but there’s nothing here that you can’t investigate for yourself, should you wish with a simple Google search.
The people who are corrupting our county and state are relying on you to not pay attention and in some cases, for lower voter turnout. Let’s all come together and take our county back!

To our fellow Mahwah residents, please remember to vote YES to the recall and for John Roth on November 6th. Laforet must be thrown out on his corrupt, lying, backside!

To be certain the record is straight, Roth would never close the senior center. For those who believe Laforet, ask him to provide something he never does...proof. Have him share a single email, speech, video, audio or any other form of media when this was done. This is just another one of the battery of lies Laforet has spread and we must ask that you not take this man's word for anything. Please do not believe a word that man says unless he includes evidence which he never has (because he can’t as he’s lying). Even his latest mailer - not a single state he shared about Mahwah has anything even remotely to do with him. It’s his own mailer and he can’t name a single achievement. That is because he is Mayor to help himself gain personal wealth, positions and power. He does not care in the slightest about our residents and continues to prove it with each and every lie.
