A Message from Freeholder Candidate Jeff Cantor
03/23/2007
Who is Jeff Cantor and what does he believe in?
I am a tenacious individual who will always do the right thing. I am a leader who strives for excellence. The things I believe in are my country, my family, the Republican Party and this wonderful County of Monmouth. I want to continue with the standard of accomplishment our past and present Freeholders have achieved. You can count on me to represent you well and I will make you proud to be a Republican resident of Monmouth County.
I would like to thank the members of affiliated Republican clubs throughout Monmouth County for allowing me the opportunity to share my credentials with you for my candidacy for Freeholder. I have a strong sense of selfless service that has been one of my core tenets for many years.
From a selfless service perspective, many of the things I do are to make life a little better for those around me, and for those I interact with. I am the current Council President for Marlboro Township, as well as a volunteer EMT for the Marlboro First Aid Squad. I am a Major in the Army Reserve with three specialties, Infantry, Military Intelligence and Civil Affairs. I have taken part in many Military operations across many continents. I do all of this while having a full time job in pharmaceutical sales and being a caring husband to my wife Ava and father to my daughters Samantha and Nicole. I have two goals in my life. One is to be a role model for my children and the other is setting foot on all seven continents. I am currently progressing towards both.
One of the things I feel very strongly about is integrity in government. We are currently in a very dark period in New Jersey, where ethical black holes are prevalent. I believe in doing the right thing, especially when no one is looking. Operation Bid Rig has sent the Monmouth County political environment into a tailspin that has negatively impacted our ability to govern with credibility. My own town of Marlboro has been on the front page of the newspaper more than I would like to admit. When I was first elected to council, I made a promise that I would help clean up the corruption that has occurred in Marlboro. I continue to stand by that promise as more and more people go down with federal indictments. It is my intent to put integrity back in government.
I have many accomplishments on the council over the past two years. I have made it mandatory to have background checks for all appointed officials and volunteers, especially those working or interacting with children; I have strengthened the anti-pedophile laws in my town; I have up zoned all available open space to try and curb over-development; and I re-established a senior committee in town to deal with issues that affect all of our senior citizens, to name a few of the things I have accomplished.
Whatever my constituency becomes, I will work hard to maintain a great quality of life and restore the public’s trust and faith in elected officials. Some of the things I would like to work on as Monmouth County Freeholder are continuing to root out corruption at all levels of government, work with our state officials to try and stabilize our “highest in the nation” property taxes, continuing to purchase and preserve open space, strengthen Pay to Play regulation and rule out any form of wheeling, create and enforce strong anti-gang initiatives, and invest in the county’s emergency management system.
I would greatly appreciate your nomination on Saturday, 24 March 2007. With your support, I will bring honor to the role of Freeholder. You can reach me at my home number listed below. If I could be of service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,
Jeff Cantor
