Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: I have always been a big supporter of Madison Marquette and many of the progressive things the company did in Asbury Park over the past 5-6 years. However, it is amazing what a little friendly “competition” [or collaboration] can accomplish! Over the past year, Madison Marquette has pretty much “pulled […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: It was only a few weeks ago when 22 of us, all candidates for City Council, were crammed shoulder-to-shoulder on stages across the city talking about how we each would improve Asbury Park. Of the many interesting and varied approaches to our city’s issues, consensus seemed to be drawn clearly […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: The candidates on the One Asbury ticket would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of our supporters and volunteers. The last few months have been a wild ride, and without your efforts, we would never have succeeded in getting a majority on the council. This was really a […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: I have owned a business and lived in Asbury Park for many years and have had the pleasure of living with quite a few city councils since 1975. The current council is the first one in my history that has actually been able to make a noticeable improvement in the […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: As a lifelong resident of Asbury Park, I have witnessed the highs and lows of this great city. The current city council has made significant progress in bringing the luster back to Asbury Park. I especially want to congratulate Councilwoman Sue Henderson for her work on environmental issues, particularly her […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: Let’s not forget that the revitalization of Asbury Park did not happen by accident. The Asbury Park City Council, led by Kevin Sanders, John Loffredo and Ed Johnson, threw out the do-nothing developers and negotiated contracts that brought in new businesses and more tax revenue. Then they reinvested this money […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: I’m writing to urge your readers to vote for Will Potter and his colleagues on the Forward Asbury Park ticket. I’ve been reading a lot about the 22 candidates running and I see people that are good talkers — even flamboyant speakers — but Will is not a talker or […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: I am writing to urge your readers to support Mr. Gregory Hopson Sr., and his colleagues on the Forward Asbury Team this Tuesday, May 14. Throughout his life, Greg Hopson has answered the call of duty. Duty to his family, duty to his country, duty to his Church. While others […]
