My name is Chase Padusniak, and I am running to be your Councilperson. I am doing so because I believe in Garwood. I was raised here from birth until I went away to college. While pursuing my doctorate at Princeton, I returned because I treasure our Borough and want to put roots down here with my wife, Gabby. I have lived in multiple countries, and no place I’ve experienced has Garwood’s heart. I believe in this place and the people who live here — a combination of young and old, lifelong residents and new neighbors. Our ability to make so much happen for so many people in such a small area is what makes us special.
