MAPLE SHADE SHOWS GROWING SUPPORT FOR THE KERSEY/BERNARD AGENDA OF CHANGE
By BCDCLocally grown produce is featured each week at the market, harkening back to the township’s roots as an agricultural community for nearly two centuries from the mid-1600s to the mid-1800s.
During this stop on their tour, though, Maple Shade produced growing support for Kersey and Bernard and their “Straight A’s for Change” campaign platform to bring accountability, accessibility and affordability to Burlington County government.
While Kersey and Bernard toured the market, and as they walked door-to-door in various communities throughout the township, they heard from numerous residents who said it was time for a change in county government.
“Residents repeatedly told us they were disgusted with corruption and career politicians,” said Kersey. “The answer, we told them, was a vote in November for our ‘Straight A’s For Change’ team.”
“One particular resident told us a story of problems with development and patronage,” said Bernard. “We replied with our promise to, on our first day in office, pass the toughest pay to play and ethics reform measure in New Jersey.”

Quote of the Day
"Please. I wouldn't have enough paper. So let’s not even bother writing one. This is now about governing. I won. The one thing I could never understand about people in politics was winners who are sore winners." -- Gov.-elect Christopher Christie, on putting together an enemis list.
“He’s a nice man with good intentions, but in the end he’ll be remembered for timidity. Being a business titan and issuing orders from the corner office is a lot different than having to cajole and persuade people in politics and having the toughness and fortitude to see your vision become reality.”-- Ross K. Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University, on Gov. Jon Corzine.
