Origanlly for Haworth I have settled in Hackensack Graduated from Ramapo State College and Attended SVA advertising Worked for IBM and Time Life Accounts My political interest began in 1980 with Young Graduates for Reagan and later a County Coordinator for The Ross Petro Campaign in 1992. The Reform Party was then absorbed into the NJCP or New Jersey Conservative Party. This is where I became battle tested in the political process competed in The State Senate Race in 1997, US Congress in 1998, Assembly in 1999, and Freeholder in 2000 and was proud to receive the party’s nomination for Governor in 2001, at a difficult time for our country after 911. The parties’ platform focused on individual freedoms, liberty, a smaller government, lower taxes, the right of the unborn and entrepreneurship. I was the lone independent candidate that debated James McGreevy and Bret Schundler in Tenafly, New Jersey. Although my margins of votes were modest the experience was priceless.

From 1999- 2004 I hosted and produced the Television Show No-Limits with my co-host George E. Soroka, biofeedback specialist and healer. We hosted over 100 shows with many well-known celebrities, authors and guests. In 2012 I launched Screenwriting Interest and now write independently under Mike Koontz writer-screenwriter.

• Reduce Property Taxes
• Increase Business Opportunities
• Expand Jobs and Career's

My core belief is in God, Unity, The US Constitution, and working hard to support our men and woman in blue who give their lives every day. I believe in a strong free enterprise system and expanding our opportunities in our business community while helping those less fortunate with well-budgeted government programs and input from community organizations. The state of New Jersey has a huge deficit of nearly 214 Billion and an “F” rated budget of 46 billion, the highest property taxes in the nation, and the highest migration out of state. Taxing the hard-working citizens of New Jersey at every level is out of control leaving our debt at 58000.00 per individual in our state. This has been ongoing for over 25 years with no plan to challenge the waste. Our Governor has driven up this debt and acted in fiat on executive orders leaving our taxpayers to hold a bag of debt. At this point, something must change or the dam will break. I hope that if elected I can work with the communities of the 37th to improve our district, improve unity, and individual success. With Gods Help and support from our citizens. My running mates and I will fight for Lower Property Taxes, Streamline Government, Inclusive policy of Diversity to Excellence and Contract with Commerce more jobs and more business growth. We will fix The Failing DMV, our Transit System reduce congestion and pollution and fight for unity among all 37th residents. I believe in family values not false theories. Thank You.
