First, we want to take a moment to congratulate Susan Poage and Alvaro Medeiros on their election to the Berkeley Heights Town Council. We wish them both success as they take on the important responsibility of serving our community. With that said, it’s essential that we, as residents, continue to hold them accountable for the promises they made during their campaign. The real measure of leadership isn’t in words or slogans—it’s in results. Let’s all remain engaged and ensure that what was pledged is delivered.

We also want to make it clear that our commitment to the residents of Berkeley Heights remains unwavering. We will continue to advocate for the issues that matter most to our town—addressing overdevelopment, ensuring transparency in government, improving accessibility to our elected officials, and tackling the severe flooding that continues to impact so many of our neighborhoods. These are not partisan issues—they are community issues, and we intend to keep fighting for meaningful progress.

Additionally, we want to express our deep gratitude to everyone who supported us throughout this campaign. To our incredible volunteers, friends, families, and neighbors—thank you. And to every voter who took the time to come out and make your voice heard—we wholeheartedly appreciate your support. Your belief in our message and your engagement in this process mean more than words can say.

And finally, let us say this: this isn’t the end—it’s only the beginning. Our work continues, and our voices will remain strong. Together, we will keep advocating for the residents of Berkeley Heights—because you’re worth it.

Your neighbors,

Glenn Endick and Michael Kaminsky
