Today I start my first attempt at creating and maintaining a blog. I intend to comment about the political scene, what is happening in government, and what we as a political party in Bound Brook are doing.

I am happy to see our first successful 2007 campaign event come to a successful conclusion with the official Democratic Party nomination of our candidate for Mayor of Bound Brook - Javier Vasquez. I personally feel comfortable with a man as dedicated to serving Bound Brook as Javier. He is the only current councilman who we see at almost all public events in town. He has demonstrated a willingness to study issues and actually take action - not just fill a seat at the council table. He is always respectful and courteous and I can not imagine him ever embarrassing us or being argumentative, combative or abusive. He simply is interested in meeting his responsibilities and truly cares. That's the kind of person that I want looking after our interests as our Mayor.

Until - next time, Ben
