Avery Grant stands with Vince Laport, an aid for the Mayor’s of Long Branch campaign.
Grant, 80, brings community leadership experience and a connectivity that would enhance living in the city of Long Branch. As he stood on the corner of Brighton and Second Avenue saying hi to his supporters, people were beeping their horns for “Avery Grant for Mayor.”
You can sense the urgency for change that would both accommodate the citizens of Long Branch and the tourist community.
Grant is a man on the move. After serving many years in the Long Branch community, he is proud to be in contention for the position of mayor; a position that has been stagnated by one mayor for so long and it’s time for change.
Residents are tired of being left out of a community that once had a genuinely beautiful family atmosphere. The family atmosphere that Long Branch once knew has been taken away over the past 20 years by the current administration. And this is one of Grant’s concerns: bringing the family atmosphere back to Long Branch.
It is sad when you see tourist occupy your beach and you hardly see anybody from your home town. Grant’s initiative is to allow residents to gain free access to the beach. Grant knows that this is one way to show the local citizens that he can be a mayor that cares. This definitely will be an issue that will not be neglected for another 20 years if he becomes mayor.
“Please come out on May 13 to support in the Mayoral race,” says Grant.
Unheard Voices: What would you do if you were to become the Mayor of the great city of Long Branch, N.J?
Avery Grant: I want to keep promises and improve the board walk. Improve lower Broadway and lower taxes. I want to respond when people come to City Hall. If they have a problem we will help them solve the problem and not just brush it off and tell them to go to some place else.
We are going to be cordial, that is my job and I will do it well.
If you really want to see change in your city please come out on May 13 and support Avery Grant for Mayor of Long Branch. Lets change the way that we do business and treat our citizens in the great city of Long Branch.
