Rob Rodriguez a coach for local youth sports is a first time candidate for office and is excited to serve the community he grew up in.
“I love Lumberton and I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and make sure Lumberton remains the best community in Burlington County” added Rodriguez.
It is a grand pleasure to live in our township with its diverse residents. The New York City’s U.N. delegates would feel quite at home during their frequent visits. Our diversity of representation hopefully will keep us openminded and tolerant to listen before we are tempted to shout and wedge theatrical showmanship instead of reasoned dialogue. It takes grit to empathize. Keep up the good work Mayor and our local Representatives.
