Catherine Tinney Rome For Assembly

Catherine Tinney Rome For Assembly in the "New" 12th

I am a first-time State Assembly candidate, running in the "New" 12th District which includes Manalapan. I will bring the action verb "represent" back to Trenton. I have many years of business experience, having worked my way up from secretary to very successfully run a Wall St. Firm (not one of the crazy mortgage backed, scandal ones).

I am involved with many volunteer and community activities; a few are Vietnam Veterans, homeless shelters, and animal rescue. I have successfully fought and prevailed on issues of importance, including fighting through several layers of Washington bureaucracy to have my mother buried with her son (my brother) in Long Island National Cemetery. He was killed in Vietnam in 1970.

I come from small town roots and have worked very hard for everything I have. I am an advocate for patients, commuters, and animals. I am active in local politics. I have full time to devote to the office if I am fortunate enough to be elected. I will bring professional skills and a strong work ethic to the Legislature. An independent thinker, I am ready, willing, and able to represent and fight for what is right. I want to enact legislature for property tax relief, and shift the burden of school funding from the tax payer. I will fight for government transparency; tax payers have the absolute right to know how their money is being spent.

I have many ideas to improve the lives of the people of New Jersey, including property tax relief, jobs, infrastructure, and the environment. Please give me a chance to do so. My Republican incumbent opponents have not worked in your best interests. Please vote for me,and my fellow Assembly Candidate, Bill Spedding next Tuesday, November 8. Remember Rome! Rome Will Represent YOU!!
