A FORCE FOR CHANGE

Global Leadership in Agriculture
With a predicted boom in the global commodities market, we can expect that agriculture and ancillary businesses to be a source of prosperity.  While our farming community certainly needs no advice from local government on how to run their businesses or grow their crops, our local government certainly has a productive role to play.   We divide the role of local government into three components: advocacy, development and ancillary service promotion.   

Economic Growth through Clean Energy and Conservation
Hammonton will thrive economically and environmentally if we choose the path of energy innovation and conservation.  The Hammonton Democrats propose a four part plan that consists of investment in alternative energy, smart grid technology and energy-saving programs, conservation investments and development of ancillary organizations. 

A Community of Medicine
We view Hammontons healthcare environment as having huge potential for both improving the healthcare delivery locally and driving economic growth.  Our vision is based on four tenets: delivery, infrastructure, workforce development and ancillary organizations. 

Quality of Life for Every Hammontonian
Our goal is to improve the quality of life in Hammonton by reaching out to those who are often forgotten.  We will harness the spirit of servant-leadership to create a better life for all of Hammonton.  We will attempt to reach this goal by assisting individuals with special needs, veterans and military families as well as shut-ins and the elderly and by creating an infrastructure to support charitable organizations.   

Municipal Services
We will fulfill the expectation of cost-effective, high-quality local services through process improvement, regional coordination and technological enhancement.
