To the Editor:
I am writing to support Uma Purandare for re-election to the Hopewell Township Committee. Her decades-long efforts to improve our community along with her effective leadership skills are truly exceptional. Uma is clearly the most qualified candidate for the position.
Knowing her as a friend and neighbor for over 20 years, I have been impressed by her willingness to learn new things and her work for the good of our community. In addition to creating and supporting inclusive Township events, including a financial planning workshop, a multicultural festival, and a valley-wide food drive, Uma worked behind the scenes with state and local agencies to spearhead the project to install a bus shelter in front of ShopRite.
Uma has always spoken about her adherence to law, science, and service to the people of Hopewell Township.
Uma’s three years on the Hopewell Township Committee have shown me that she is thoroughly committed to those ideals. Please join me in voting for Uma Purandare on November 5th this year.
Julie Blake,
former Hopewell Township Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Township Committee Member
