🇺🇸 EXPERIENCE MATTERS IN WEST CALDWELL!

With decades of combined experience serving the Township of West Caldwell, Mayor Joseph Tempesta, Council President Kathy Canale, and Councilman Michael Docteroff have worked across many of the issues that matter to our community.

Our ongoing priorities include:

✅ Fiscal Responsibility: Maintaining balanced budgets, managing taxpayer dollars responsibly, and pursuing additional county and state funding.

✅ Public Safety: Supporting our Police and Fire Departments and First Aid Squad through staffing, equipment, and modern technology.

✅ Infrastructure Improvements: Continuing road paving and curbing projects, upgrading water systems, and addressing stormwater management and drainage concerns.

✅ Recreation & Community Programs: Enhancing parks, athletic facilities, and recreational opportunities, including educational activities for children and programs for seniors.

✅ Responsible Development: Balancing state-mandated development requirements with the preservation of West Caldwell's small-town character.

✅ Community Partnerships: Expanding shared services with neighboring municipalities and supporting local organizations and community initiatives.

Mayor Tempesta's nearly three decades as Mayor, together with Kathy Canale's and Michael Docteroff's years of Council service, reflect a long history of municipal leadership and community involvement.

We remain committed to addressing West Caldwell's challenges and continuing the work that serves our residents, families, and businesses.

EXPERIENCE • INTEGRITY • DEDICATION 🇺🇸

Honored to receive the endorsement of the New Jersey State PBA!

As a former Mayor, I've always stood with the brave men and women of law enforcement, and I always will.

Our police officers deserve respect, support, and leaders in Washington who have their backs. I'm proud to stand with the NJSPBA and fight for safer communities across NJ-11!
