The Westfield rally for reproductive rights was one of many across America on Saturday, May 14th. Mayor Mahr joined Congressman Tom Malinowsky at the event protesting the draft opinion by Supreme Court Justice Alito that has telegraphed a strong indicator that Roe vs. Wade may be overturned.

The Fanwood Democratic Committee has unanimously named Gina Berry and Kathy Mitchell as the candidates for the two Borough Council seats opening up at the end of the year. Kathy will run for re-election to her 8th consecutive term. It's Gina's first time seeking elected office. She will run for the seat currently held by Francine Glaser who is not running for re-election. "I am very happy to have Kathy back for another term,” said Mayor Colleen Mahr, chair of the Democratic Committee. “She has demonstrated her commitment to Fanwood and its citizens over two decades. Gina will be a fantastic addition to our governing body. She is a very involved parent and engaged in issues that cut across our diverse community.”
