In an effort to take the local elections from a list of recommended names on a website or piece of paper in shul to something “real” with issues that do really affect us and real people behind them, we have come up with a new feature just in time for the November 5th election. We have asked selected candidates from various races in the localities of our Orthodox Jewish communities to share a little about themselves and to highlight their own opinions and positions that may be important to our community. This is a purely unbiased non-editorial feature. Recommendations from JVOTE and other LJN readers will continue to be available. Look for our first feature introducing Melissa Yasinow.
