He was appointed to the Environmental Commission before he was elected, where he has worked with fellow volunteers to promote environmentally friendly programs such as a Community Garden and the Trex Thin Film Plastics Challenge. His business and financial background has brought tremendous invaluable experience when it comes to responsibly managing our tax dollars. Alvaro and his wife Amalia have lived in Berkeley Heights for nearly 25 years, where they’ve raised their children, Adrian and Beatriz, who graduated from our public schools. Alvaro knows first-hand just how much every vote counts in local elections. In 2018, Alvaro ran on the "Change We Can Agree On" ticket with now-current Mayor Angie Devanney and Councilman Stephen Yellin.
“What I saw in our leadership worried me. My goal was to take a more active role in the township and to be part of the leadership, to be at the table when decisions that affect us all are being made, and to help bring about change for the better. Under Mayor Devanney, we have done just that."
