State Senator Endorses Alexandria Harwin For Ridgewood Council

RIDGEWOOD, NJ — State Senator Loretta Weinberg (37th District) has endorsed Alexandra Harwin for election to the Village Council.

Harwin and Janice Willett are running against incumbent Deputy Mayor Michael Sedon and Mayor Susan Knudsen in Tuesday's election.

"Now, more than ever, we need to elect strong, progressive women, and it is in that spirit that I hope Alexandra Harwin gets elected to the Ridgewood council," Weinberg said of Harwin. "She’s smart. She’s thoughtful. And she would bring to Village Hall a welcome mix of energy, passion, and integrity. Ridgewood is lucky to have Ali Harwin. I hope you vote for her on Tuesday."

Harwin has never held elected office. She is in favor of shared services between municipalities, revitalizing the Central Business District, and challenging the "status quo" of ever increasing property taxes.
