MOORESTOWN – This week, the members of the Moorestown Republican Municipal

Judd Van Dervort, who led the Candidate Screening Committee this year. “Barbara
Omert, Doug Maute, and Vick Bobadilla are passionate advocates for the people of

Moorestown community, each bringing a depth of experience, involvement, and
understanding of the issues facing our Township. We could not be prouder to put
their names forward to the voters.”

BARBARA OMERT

While Barbara and her husband, Ed, have lived in Moorestown for 23 years, her connection
to Moorestown began over 50 years ago as a student at Our Lady of Good Counsel, where
she is still a parishioner. Barbara was the third generation to own and run her family’s small
business, and later worked in accounting and tax preparation. She has served on the Board
of Friends of MEND, Inc, and has been an active participant in the efforts of The Moorestown
Community House, Oaks Integrated Care, and Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice of South
Jersey. Barbara is a huge animal lover, having been a founding member of the West
Highland White Terrier Association of America and supporting the efforts of the Philadelphia
Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). She has been a longtime supporter of organizations such as
the Historical Society of Moorestown, the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties,
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children of
Mercer & Burlington Counties, and the Alzheimer’s Association.

DOUG MAUTE

A lifelong South Jersey resident, Doug and his wife, Sarah, chose Moorestown 8 years ago as
the perfect place to raise their three young children. A nationally recognized attorney, Doug
first made partner at the age of 36 and was named to the 2020 New Jersey Rising Stars list.
Before practicing law, he worked at a small landscape architecture firm where he helped
design Moorestown’s Boundary Creek Park. Doug has served our community as Chairman of
the Planning Board and Secretary of Sustainable Moorestown. He helped found the Mary E.
Roberts School Green Team, where he secured a grant to launch the school’s No Food Left
Behind food waste reduction program, and worked with the Moorestown Police Department

to create our Township’s first Safe Exchange Zone for online transactions. Doug is currently
serving as the President of the State Society for Health Care Risk Managers of New Jersey, is
a Team Captain for American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life of Moorestown, and is active
with the Strawbridge Lake Beautification Committee.

VICK BOBADILLA

Born in Peru, Vick has been blessed to live the American Dream. As a boy, Vick moved to
the United States with his parents and watched as they worked hard to create a better life
for their family. This work ethic and drive was instilled in Vick from a young age and is what
gave him the motivation and perseverance to start a small business of his own and build a
happy and successful life for his own family. 18 years ago, Vick and his late wife, Shari,
moved to Moorestown to give their four children the best education and the experience of a
small town life. He has spent numerous hours in town coaching flag football, street hockey,
softball, soccer, lacrosse, and basketball. He is a trained volunteer with the New Jersey Mass
Care Emergency Response Team that assists with sheltering, feeding, family reunification,
and distribution of emergency supplies in times of crisis. Currently a member of the
Moorestown Rotary Club, Vick is a proud volunteer with Moorestown High School Project
Graduation and the Boys and Girls Club.
