"Don't fear change........embrace it!"

My fellow Nutley residents, as we near the election, let's remember to keep an open mind. Let's not be swayed by flashy ads or empty promises. I encourage you to focus on the consistent actions of your candidates.  You should demand integrity, accountability, and transparency from those who seek to lead your town!

I believe that we deserve leaders who are deeply committed to Nutley, who have a proven track record of working for the betterment of our community. You need leaders who have shown dedication and transparency in their actions, not just in their words. You must look beyond the surface and examine what each of the candidates have individually done for Nutley.

It's not enough to just talk a good game or make grand promises. You cannot be fooled by those who haven't done anything and suddenly decide to "rebirth" programs from previous Commissioners just to gain votes. You need leaders who have rolled up their sleeves and put in the work to make Nutley a better place for all. Look for those who have a long history of service in our town, who have volunteered their time and effort to make a difference in our community.

I humbly offer myself as a candidate who fits this description. I have been a part of Nutley for many years, working tirelessly to support and be actively involved in various local organizations, coach youth sports, and lend a helping hand to those in need. I am not just a name on a roster - I am someone who is willing to do the hard work to make our town a better place for everyone.

I stand before you today not as a politician seeking re-election, but as a dedicated member of our community who will always stand up for what is right. I challenge the status quo and demand answers when faced with injustice. I refuse to back down when faced with defamation, especially as the only female running in this election.

I believe in, and live my life, practicing inclusivity and diversity. These are not just words to me… they are values that I hold dear and that guide my every action. I do not just talk about supporting our Veterans, I actively work to assist in providing them with the benefits they need, food, clothing, and toys for their children in need. When I say I will do something, it happens!

I am not content to simply be a member of countless organizations on paper. I actively participate and volunteer, working tirelessly to make a difference in our community. I am truly inclusive in all my events, ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table. Some wait to get into office to do these things, but I do them because of my love for Nutley and its residents!  Imagine what we can do, once I have a seat at the Commissioner's table!

I have a vision for Nutley, a vision of a bright, inclusive, and prosperous future for all. But to achieve this vision, we must rise above the noise and focus on what truly matters - the well-being and success of our community. We must come together with determination, unity, and purpose to build a future for Nutley that we can all be proud of. It’s time for change!

So, as we move forward in selecting our Commissioners, let's remember to look beyond the glitz and glamor. Let's seek out candidates who have a true heart for Nutley, who have a proven record of making a difference in our community…not just because it's an election year! Let's demand the best for Nutley and come together to choose leaders who will truly put our town first. 

So, I ask you, my fellow residents of Nutley, to stand with me in this fight. Let us not fear change, rather embrace it! Let us pave the way for a better tomorrow, one where everyone has a voice and a seat at the table! Let us work together to build a community that we can all be proud of. Let us make Nutley a shining example of inclusivity, diversity and prosperity for all of our residents. 

Together, we can achieve great things. Together, we can build a future that is bright, inclusive, and prosperous for all. Together, we can make Nutley a place we are all proud to call home for many years to come… and YOU can help make that change with your vote for Maria Hamlin on May 14th!

Crossroads

Fellow residents of Nutley,

We stand at a crossroads in our township. The decisions we make today will shape the future for generations to come. It is imperative that we have leaders we can trust, leaders who value integrity and transparency, leaders who are unafraid to make tough choices in the face of adversity.

We are facing challenges that threaten the very fabric of our community. High taxes and how those dollars are being spent, will continue to drive families out of our township, will increase the overcrowding of our schools, and erode the sense of belonging that multiple generations have cherished for years. We cannot afford to sit idly by as Nutley loses its soul.

I stand before you today as a candidate for commissioner because I believe that change is needed. I have witnessed firsthand the complexities of the challenges we face, and I lead with courage, integrity, and unwavering principles. I am not afraid to disrupt the status quo, to challenge norms that hold us back, and to make tough decisions for the greater good of our community.

I understand that leadership is not about popularity, but about effectiveness. I am committed to prioritizing the needs of Nutley and its residents above all else! I will always stand firm in the face of adversity, even if it means standing alone.

 So, my fellow residents, I urge you to join me in this journey. Together, we can change the status quo and create a new legacy of innovation, progress, and unity. Together, we can pave the way for a better tomorrow. 

Together, we can create a township that we can be proud of, a township that we can all call home for many years to come.

Integrity, Leadership, Transparency, Accountability – these are the values that I hold dear and that I will uphold as your commissioner.  Please join me on this journey.

I humbly ask for your support, your trust, and your vote in the upcoming election on May 14, 2024.

"Change nothing, nothing changes"

Fellow residents of Nutley, I write to you today not just as Maria Hamlin, a candidate for Nutley Commissioner. I also write to you as a United States Air Force Veteran, mother, retired Nutley Law Enforcement officer, and a Nutley resident, who truly cares about the future of our community. I bring a new perspective, shaped by many and various experiences and a deep understanding of the importance of embracing diversity in all its forms!

We live in a community that is constantly changing and evolving, and yet our board of commissioners remains unchanged.  It is time for us to embrace a new voice, a new perspective; someone who will bring forth new ideas. We cannot expect progress if we continue to uphold the status quo, and if we continue to only listen to the same voices and the same ideas. As the saying goes, "change nothing, nothing changes." If we continue on this path, we will repeat the same mistakes and face the same challenges over and over again.

Diversity is not just a buzzword, it is the key to unlocking innovation, creativity, and progress. When we bring together individuals from different backgrounds, with different experiences and viewpoints, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. We must not fear change, but rather welcome it with open minds and open hearts.

I urge each and every one of you to look beyond the familiar faces and the comfortable ideas that have dominated our discussions for too long. It is time for us to welcome a new face, a new perspective, and a new way of thinking. It is time for us to come together, united in our goal of creating a brighter and more inclusive future for Nutley.

That is why I humbly ask for your support, for your trust, and for your vote in the upcoming election on May 14th! Together, we can ensure that our board of commissioners truly reflects the rich tapestry of our community. Together, we can make decisions that are informed by a wide range of perspectives and experiences. Together, we can bring about positive change in Nutley. Together, we can shape the future of Nutley and create a community that we can all be proud of.

Please join me on this journey and Together We Can make a difference.
