Dominianni and Marshuetz Highlight Experience, Proven Results and Commitment to Chester Borough

CHESTER BOROUGH, NJ - With Election Day approaching on Tuesday, November 3, Chester Borough Council candidates Michael Dominianni and Gary Marshuetz are highlighting their decades of public safety experience, community involvement and record of delivering results for Borough residents.

Both candidates have built their reputations through hands-on service, fiscal responsibility and a commitment to protecting the quality of life that makes Chester Borough a special place to live, work and raise a family.

For Dominianni and Marshuetz, public service is not simply a campaign promise. It is a lifelong commitment backed by experience, preparation and results.

Decades of Experience Serving and Protecting the Community

Michael Dominianni began serving as a firefighter at just 18 years old and went on to become Chester's First Assistant Fire Chief. As a local business owner, he understands the challenges facing taxpayers, families and small businesses, as well as the importance of responsible financial management.

Gary Marshuetz brings nearly four decades of public safety experience and a longstanding commitment to community service. His dedication extends beyond his professional responsibilities through his volunteer work and participation in local fundraising efforts.

Together, Dominianni and Marshuetz bring the practical experience, leadership and institutional knowledge necessary to make informed decisions affecting Chester Borough's future.

Their commitment to serving residents has never depended on political affiliation. Their priority has always been the people of Chester Borough.

A Record of Results, Not Just Promises

Dominianni and Marshuetz point to several important accomplishments and initiatives they have supported:

• Strengthening public safety: Helped secure a fair police contract, worked to preserve Chester's volunteer First Aid Squad and advocated for appropriate funding for fire services.
• Protecting taxpayers: Supported responsible spending and contract negotiations that helped strengthen Borough financial reserves while working to keep taxes under control.
• Bringing outside funding to Chester: Helped secure millions of dollars in federal, state and county grants to support Borough needs and reduce the financial burden on local taxpayers.
• Improving Borough operations: Supported efforts to create a more positive workplace environment at Borough Hall and update the employee handbook to improve retention of valuable municipal employees.
• Delivering more efficient services: Supported the Department of Public Works' purchase of a leaf vacuum to make collection safer, faster and less labor-intensive.

These efforts reflect a practical approach to local government: protect essential services, manage taxpayer dollars carefully and find solutions that benefit residents.

Focused on Chester Borough's Future

Dominianni and Marshuetz remain committed to addressing the issues that matter most to residents, including improving pedestrian safety through better crosswalks and signage, ensuring Chester receives fair and equitable shared-service agreements, maintaining strong financial reserves and controlling municipal spending.

• Their goal is straightforward: preserve Chester Borough's character, protect its residents and provide high-quality municipal services without placing unnecessary burdens on taxpayers.

Experience, Preparation and Accountability Matter

As voters evaluate their choices for Borough Council, Dominianni and Marshuetz believe residents deserve to know not only what candidates promise, but also what they have accomplished and how well they understand the responsibilities of local government.

The candidates contrast their record of public service and involvement in Borough affairs with what they describe as a lack of visible preparation by their Democratic opponents.

According to Dominianni and Marshuetz, their Democratic opponents have not attended Borough Council meetings since receiving their nominations in June and have not publicly released a platform outlining their priorities or proposals for Chester Borough.

The candidates believe these concerns deserve answers before Election Day.

Serving on Borough Council requires more than having your name on a campaign sign. It requires attending meetings, understanding municipal finances, studying local issues, listening to residents and being prepared to make decisions that affect the entire community.

Dominianni and Marshuetz believe their experience and record demonstrate that they are prepared to meet those responsibilities.

Chester Borough's Future Deserves Experienced Leadership

Local elections have a direct impact on property taxes, public safety, roads, municipal services and the character of the community.

The decisions made by Borough Council affect residents every day, and those decisions require knowledgeable, dedicated and accountable leadership.

Michael Dominianni and Gary Marshuetz offer Chester Borough residents decades of public safety experience, business knowledge, community involvement and a demonstrated commitment to responsible local government.

On Tuesday, November 3, Chester Borough residents have an opportunity to make their voices heard and help determine the future leadership of their community.

Residents are encouraged to participate in the election, review the candidates' qualifications and cast their ballots.

Every vote matters, and Chester Borough's future deserves the attention of every voter.
