David Contract, Ward 3 Councilman Westfield on
October 19, 2023
Why I’m Voting for Dawn Nichol-Manning for Ward 3

If you’d like to see Westfield’s momentum continue during the next four years, VOTE for Dawn Nichol-Manning for Town Council in Ward 3. I wholeheartedly endorse Dawn because I know she’ll support the kind of policies andprogramsthathavehelpedWestfield make tremendous progress since I was first elected asWard 3 Councilman back in 2017.

Dawn cares passionately about the issues that you care about including:

• Improving your quality of life such as paving the rest of Westfield’s roads (by the way, since I’ve taken office, the town has paved approximately 70 percent of our roads with utilities covering much of the cost)

• Improving public safety including thepurchaseofmoreLicensePlateReaders, upgraded street lighting and new sidewalks

• Investing in parks and recreation includingnewfieldstoaddressourtown’s fields capacity deficit

• Continuing smart fiscal management that has kept tax increases low, averaging only 1.4 percent over the past 6 years vs 2.7 percent for the prior 6 years Dawn will also bring valuable new perspectives to the council which will make our government more representative and effective.Shehas27yearsofexperienceas an educator and pastor, focusing on listening to and understanding the needs of others and taking steps to address their concerns and make things better.

She is President of the East Orange Education Association, where she focuses onfindingcommongroundamong competing groups to drive positive change. She lives on CentralAvenue, so she understands the need to address trafficandpedestriansafetyissues.She’s a Mom of two children (one in college andoneinelementaryschool)andawife who wants Westfield to be the preeminent town for families to move to and raise their children. Lastly, if elected, Dawn will bring invaluable perspective as the town’s first African-American elected female councilperson.

Join me in voting for Dawn Nichol-Manning for Town Council in Ward 3 during the upcoming election.

Whether you’re voting in person on Nov 7, voting early in person or mailing in your ballot, check the box for Dawn Nichol-ManningtokeepWestfieldmoving forward.
