To My Friends and Neighbors in Roosevelt;
My name is Nicholas Murray, and I was recently appointed by the State to fill one of our Borough Council vacancies. Some of you already know me from the Environmental Commission or the Hilltop Swim Club. But for those who don’t: Hi, I’m Nick.
I moved to Roosevelt two years ago with my wife, Katharine. After graduating from Rutgers University, we lived in Hamilton Township for four years, but our home on South Rochdale Avenue is the first we have ever owned. We could not be happier here. Roosevelt is a beautiful town with a strong sense of community. In that way it reminds me of the small South Jersey town in which I grew up. Both of my parents were heavily involved in local government and on the various committees in town and that is where my interest for local involvement really began.
I graduated from Rutgers New Brunswick in 2013, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources. While there, I was a part of the community service scene on campus, participating in and leading week-long volunteer trips through RU Alternative Breaks. In 2010, I began an internship at an environmental consulting company in Hillsborough, NJ. I have been working there ever since as a project scientist. Part of my job includes groundwater and soil sampling, as well as the oversight and maintenance of small water treatment systems. I’ve since brought this experience to Roosevelt as a volunteer with Roosevelt’s Environmental Commission and was appointed as a member in January of 2017. I have been active in revitalizing the Woodland Trail and the construction of the wooden platforms that make the trails more accessible.
I have been very proud to call Roosevelt my home over the past two years and I care about its future. I will confess that, outside of my involvement with the Environmental Commission, I have not had much interaction with the Borough Council. But please don’t see that as a lack of caring or understanding of the issues at hand. I am a concerned, tax-paying citizen of this town. I don’t believe I have all of the answers to our challenges, but what I do have is an open mind and a good work ethic. I do not associate myself with any faction in town or any “team.” My only concern is what is best for Roosevelt.
My appointment to the Borough Council is an interim position and will expire after the election on November 7th, 2017 unless I receive enough votes to elect me to one of the unexpired term seats. It may be too early to start campaigning, but I would like you to consider me for a write-in vote on November 7th, 2017. Roosevelt is Katharine’s and my home and I want to be a good steward of its future. If you’ll allow me to serve you on Borough Council, I promise I will be.
Sincerely,
Nick Murray
