Freehold Deserves Better Leadership

Freehold needs leaders who will tackle problems head-on, protect our tax dollars, and make life better for everyone who lives here. Ricky and Autumn believe in a government that answers to residents—not special interests or backroom deals.

Making Our Neighborhoods Stronger and Safer

  • Stay on top of code enforcement before small problems turn into big headaches
  • Go after illegal rentals, absentee landlords, and properties that aren’t being maintained
  • Make sure property maintenance rules apply to everyone equally
  • Improve traffic safety with better enforcement and safer walkways

Smart Development That Works for Us

  • Make developers—not taxpayers—pay for the real costs of their projects
  • Demand infrastructure upgrades before approving new housing
  • Protect our green spaces with strong tree replacement and buffer requirements
  • Make sure new development fits with Freehold’s character and scale
  • Put community benefits ahead of developer profits

Fixing the Redevelopment Mess

  • Stop making taxpayers pay interest on stalled or unfinished projects
  • Use the $3.3 million from selling the old municipal building to pay down debt on the new one—we’ve already paid over $600,000 in interest alone
  • Demand full public accounting of redevelopment plans, budgets, and costs
  • Set clear deadlines and hold developers accountable
  • Say no to expensive projects that don’t deliver real results
  • Make sure redevelopment serves residents, not backroom deals

Fair Rules for Everyone

  • Enforce zoning laws equally—no favorites, no looking the other way
  • Prevent overcrowding in single-family homes by enforcing occupancy rules
  • Strengthen rental registration and inspection requirements
  • Hold landlords and property managers accountable for substandard housing

Government You Can Trust

  • Strengthen conflict-of-interest rules to cover all family and business relationships
  • Require full disclosure of PAC and developer contributions
  • Make officials step aside when they have financial or political ties
  • Consider term limits for mayor and council to end career politics

Actually Listening to Residents

  • Hold regular town halls with real answers—not scripted talking points
  • Improve borough communication with timely, accurate updates
  • Share information directly and honestly
  • Treat residents’ concerns with urgency and respect

A Government That Gets Things Done

  • End the delays, excuses, and red tape—residents deserve results
  • Improve coordination between borough departments
  • Give borough employees the resources they need to serve residents
  • Put aside personal politics and focus on practical solutions

The Bottom Line

Ricky and Autumn want a Freehold that puts residents first. By strengthening our neighborhoods, cleaning up the redevelopment disasters, and bringing trust back to Borough Hall, we can move Freehold forward in the right direction.
