Senator Jon Bramnick has made a genuine effort to listen to Millburn-Short Hills residents and taxpayers—and he’s placed our township’s critical needs at the forefront of his campaign.
From the beginning, Jon Bramnick has led the Republican gubernatorial charge against overdevelopment. Hailing from Westfield, Jon knows our community and the fabric that makes us whole. He has a strong record of representing us in the state legislature.
Like hundreds of other New Jersey communities, Millburn-Short Hills is being held hostage by a deeply flawed Affordable Housing Law—passed solely by Democrats and signed by Governor Murphy in 2024. Even before that, Trenton Democrats empowered the unelected, unaccountable Fair Share Housing Center—whose funding appears to come largely from developers—to dictate housing policy in our towns under the guise of “affordable housing.”
This group is not elected, not transparent, and not accountable to us—yet it has more say over our future than our own mayors, councils, or residents.
We’ve lost our say in how we want to live. We’ve lost local control over planning and development. Politicians and developers have hijacked our towns.
Jon Bramnick is from a community that has been hit hard by these unfair housing mandates—a stark contrast to the Democratic candidates, who come from places conveniently exempt from affordable housing mandates like Montclair and Jersey City. While they lecture suburban towns, their own communities aren’t subject to the rules they’re forcing on us.
Enough is enough.
We need seasoned, proven leadership—and Senator Jon Bramnick is the right candidate at the right time.
Bramnick is fiscally conservative, socially moderate, and always willing to listen. He has repeatedly won elections in majority-Democratic districts and earned the respect of his colleagues—serving as Assembly Republican Leader (2012–2022), Conference Leader, Whip, and Assistant Whip. You don’t hold leadership roles that long unless you know how to unite people, deliver results, and stand on principle.
Importantly, Bramnick knows how to work across the aisle to get things done—something that will be essential if Democrats retain control of the legislature. He understands that compromise doesn’t mean surrender—it means making real progress without sacrificing core common-sense values.
Governor Murphy has failed to lead. Housing mandates have spiraled out of control. The cost of living is crushing families. Crime is up, and our economy is stalled under sky-high corporate taxes and business-hostile policies. If we continue with one-party rule—or elect a Republican who can’t effectively govern—we risk losing our state for good.
On June 10th, we’re voting for Senator Jon Bramnick because he’s the Republican with the experience, the record, and the temperament to move New Jersey forward.
Jon Bramnick stands for moderate and sensible solutions:
Safe communities.
Local control.
Lower taxes.
Preserving our Jersey way of life.
Registered Republicans and Independents can vote in the GOP primary on Tuesday, June 10.
Senator Jon Bramnick is our choice for Governor—because New Jersey deserves better. From both sides of the aisle.
