Alisa Cooper:
My number one priority is putting Atlantic County back to work. We need to jumpstart our economy and bring new jobs to our area. Nothing is more important then bringing new jobs to Atlantic County. My other top priorities are lowering property taxes and rooting out government waste.
Alisa Cooper:
We need to be investing in our public schools. Charter schools serve their purpose, but we should not be diverting funds from public schools to send kids elsewhere. Our tax dollars should be devoted to improving our public school system.
Alisa Cooper:
We need to fully fund suburban school districts. Egg Harbor Township School District is one of the most underfunded districts in the entire state. Under the Democratic budget, they would have received $17 million additional dollars. The Republicans in Trenton slashed school aid statewide by over $1 billion. When municipalities lose state aid, they have to make up those funds with additional property taxes. We need to fund our schools so our kids have a quality education, and to keep property taxes low.
Alisa Cooper:
We need to make the right choices for our community. We need to balance development vs. preservation while protecting our rural communities. I do support preservation through bonding that is approved by taxpayers.
Alisa Cooper:
No, I do not support the Governor's Energy Master Plan. Instead of trying to make New Jersey a national leader in renewable energy, the Governor slashed our goals and pulled us out of RGGI. Moreover, he used the funds appropriated by the Legislature for green job creation to plug holes in the budget.
In Atlantic County, I'm working with Senator Whelan to help retool our boating and glass industry's to make solar panels and wind turbines right here in Atlantic County. Taking funding away from job creation isn't moving in the right direction.
Alisa Cooper:
We need to be encouraging more public/private partnerships when talking about transportation. These partnerships could bring in needed additional funding into our transportation system.
Alisa Cooper:
We need to fully fund programs like the Homestead Rebate and the Senior Freeze, both of which are providing needed funding to relieve the burden of property taxes. Republicans in Trenton cut $848 million from the Homestead Rebate this year, allowing property taxes to rise on the middle class and seniors. That is not acceptable.
We should definitely be encouraging consolidation and shared services where possible. It will only save taxpayers in the long run.
Alisa Cooper:
In Atlantic County I've worked across party lines to balance budgets and put people to work. In the Assembly, I'll do the same thing. I'll work in a bipartisan fashion to put people back to work and help improve our economy. Protecting our middle class and seniors shouldn't be a Democratic issue or a Republican issue, it should be everyone's issue.

Damon Tyner:
My number one priority is putting Atlantic County back to work. We need new jobs and we need high tech and green jobs. Our middle class and seniors continue to suffer, and we need leaders in Trenton who will work to put our state back to work. My other top priorities are lowering property taxes and rooting out government waste.
Damon Tyner:
As someone who has worked as an Attorney with various Boards of Education around our area, I know firsthand the problems our schools face. The answer to that is not diverting public school funds for private schools. While I believe charter schools provide a service to specific areas, we need to continue to make sure that our of state's children have access to a quality education through the public school system.
Damon Tyner:
We need to fully fund suburban school districts. The Republicans cut $1 billion from education funding this year. The only way to make up the lost aid to municipalities is by raising property taxes. My opponents supported this. By failing to adequately fund education for our children, we're depriving kids the opportunity to succeed. This is not only an education issue, but an economic one.
Damon Tyner:
I have always supported taxpayer approved state bonding for preservation projects. With that said, given our dense population of our suburban and urban areas we should encourage growth into rural areas under the right circumstances, and that are fair to both developing communities and preservation.
Damon Tyner:
No, I do not support the Governor's Energy "Master" Plan. Furthermore, I do not support the Governor pulling us out of RGGI, and using the RGGI funds that were set aside for job creation, to plug holes in the budget.
In Atlantic County, I'm working with Senator Jim Whelan to help retool and revitalize a broken glass and boating industry to make solar panels and wind turbines right here in Atlantic County. This will bring new green manufacturing jobs to our area and help help up the development of renewable energy sources.
Damon Tyner:
We need to be encouraging public-private partnerships that will bring new projects to our area and that will create new jobs.
Damon Tyner:
First, we need to restore the slashed funding for the Homestead Rebate and Senior Freeze. The Republicans cut $848 million from the Homestead Rebate program this past year. These funds were needed property tax relief for our middle class and seniors. Just another example of the Republicans leaving behind Atlantic County's middle class and seniors.
Damon Tyner:
I'm willing to work with anyone who will put the priorities Atlantic County's middle class and seniors first. We need property tax relief and we need jobs. I'll work with Republicans and Democrats a like to find solutions to our state's problems, and I'll give my all for the residents of Atlantic County day after day in the Statehouse.
