One of my votes will be going to Natasha Joly, who I met while her husband was coaching my oldest daughter’s softball team last year. I got to know her more during the Berkeley Heights French Revolution.

Natasha presents as poised, composed, and informed. The evidence of this exists on tape at BOE Meetings.

Natasha also stood up for children who would have been impacted by the removal of French.

Her Academic Background is impeccable, her work experience is a strong and qualified match for the position, and her platform is what Berkeley Heights residents have been demanding from our District for the past three years. (link)

In my interactions with her, I found her to be humble, curious, and more interested in what another person says than in sharing her own opinion. She approaches differences of opinion maturely – she demonstrates an ability to hold her ground and the flexibility to change her mind or compromise when the situation calls for it.

Her responses to the LWV Debate questions, BHCW, Debate questions and TAPINTO questions are evidence of someone who has taken the time to learn the District’s issues and is genuinely interested in moving it forward from its current sad state of affairs.

Please take the opportunity to meet Natasha and learn more about how she can improve our District.
