My wife, Laura, and I have known Virginia Manzari for 14 years. During that time I have been highly impressed not only by her many initiatives on behalf of the community but also by her intelligence, sensitivity, and integrity as a person. Virginia has been heavily involved in our school system as a parent and an active member of the PTA. She has advocated on behalf of individual neighborhoods (such as Cranbury Road’s need for a sidewalk), and spoken out about issues that affect the whole town (for example, she independently prepared an analysis of the train station redevelopment, and she is closely following the proposed massive Howard Hughes development.) Virginia regularly presents community concerns at council meetings. She identified a blighted area in town across from McCaffrey’s supermarket and repeatedly brought it to the attention of the administration and town council. Because of her persistence, efforts are now moving forward to clean up and develop the property.
I ask all West Windsor residents to please join us in voting for Virginia Manzari for Council on November 3. She knows West Windsor. Her education and previous work as an executive for Procter & Gamble, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson make her well suited to tackle the broad range of business and financial issues facing our township. We trust Virginia and believe she would do an outstanding job as a West Windsor Councilperson.

I have known Virginia Manzari for several years now and feel very confident about supporting her candidacy for Town Council. Although we have children of different ages and in different schools, we connected instantaneously over our similar values in raising our children and specifically our shared interest in our children’s education.
Over the years I have seen Virginia take on various important issues in our district and our community. I have always been impressed by her thorough research of a specific problem, her strategizing skills, and following through until a satisfying outcome is achieved. Virginia cares so deeply about this community, and I have seen her continuously and genuinely give of her time and efforts, often when there is nothing for her to personally gain from it. I have no doubt whatsoever that she will make many positive changes in our town!
I was thrilled to hear that Virginia had decided to run for Town Council. As I have come to know her and have had the chance to observe her leadership abilities, I knew that she would be destined for this position. We need her on Town Council, and my family and I will be supporting her all the way! I hope you’ll join me in voting for Virginia Manzari on November 3.
