Full Interview Questions prepared by an independent third party 
and submitted to both candidates for Chatham Township Committee. Mark 
Lois provides his full and unedited responses:
How would you describe yourself in 2-3 sentences? I
 am running for re-election to the Township Committee and currently 
serving my first 3 year term as the only elected Republican in the 
Chathams, with 12 other elected positions all held by Democrats. I am a
 tireless advocate for quality-of-life improvements in our Township 
without tax increases and without added debt. My history on the 
Township Committee shows a commitment to results for residents through a
 reasoned and common sense approach that puts residents first even in 
opposition to my own political party. 
What initially made you want to run for Chatham Township Committee? In
 2021 I was elected to my first term on the Committee which runs a 3 
year term from 2022 to 2024. At that time my campaign was driven to 
stop the 20% increase in the municipal tax rate and the 33% increase in 
municipal debt which occurred in the prior 2 years and departed from a 
very long history of fiscal sanity in Chatham Township. Those enormous 
increases in tax rate and debt were made by a majority vote of 
Democrats, with two Republicans casting opposition votes. Democrats had
 never, in the history of our Township, previously had a majority on 
Township Committee. Their majority led to immediate explosion of debt 
and tax rates. My election marked a slim return to a Republican 
majority by a single vote. For the next two years we returned to 
budgets without any tax rate increases and with no increase in net debt.
 Debt was actually slightly decreased and while still meeting 
enormously expensive prior obligations to high density housing projects.
 Fiscal responsibility returned without neglecting the quality of life 
in our Township and our Republican majority improved municipal assets. A
 few examples include paving more than 20% of Township roads, replacing a
 half million dollar turf field at Shunpike field and acquiring more 
than five police vehicles to renew a public safety fleet replacement 
previously paused.
This year in Chatham Township there is again a majority of 
Democrats. In fact, I am the only Republican of 12 elected officials in
 the Chathams. Despite my dissent and opposing vote on the Township 
Committee, they have authorized a staggering 24% expansion of authorized
 debt in 2024. Our Township has never had a debt increase of this 
magnitude in a single year. What is even more troubling is that this 
unprecedented expansion of authorized debt includes more than $70,000 of
 debt issued just to study a demolition of the current police station 
and rebuilding the same facility at the municipal center on Meyersville 
Road. Demolishing the police station will result in a massive public 
building project to rebuild the current municipal building that will 
cost many, many millions and further expand the explosion of debt. I 
requested that rebuilding the municipal center and a new police station 
be put on a public ballot as a non-binding referendum. The Mayor and 
current majority refused to even include this for discussion on any 
agenda, public session or executive session of the Township Committee....... &nbsp;<a href="https://patch.com/new-jersey/chatham/mark-lois-full-extended-interview-nodx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">READ MORE OF THE UNEDITED INTERVIEW</a>

Mark Lois In Full: Extended Interview - Unedited, Real Positions and Policies For Chatham Township

Whoever wins the 5th seat for Chatham Township Committee this Election Day, Chatham residents should feel great about the fact that the government is well-balanced and run by representatives from all political parties.
Our 5 elected committee members work together as our main legislative body, liaising with a variety of volunteers on subcommittees, boards and commissions. Boards have their own legislative power while subcommittees typically serve an advisory role supporting the Township Committee. Numerous volunteers put their passion and experience front and center to help the town function at a high level - checking their political affiliation at the door.
Prompted by my opponent&rsquo;s outcry for &ldquo;balance,&rdquo; I have discovered that there are 25 Republicans, 21 Democrats and 8 Independents giving their time and attention to our Township on these critical boards and subcommittees: 
<ul><li dir="ltr">Planning Board&nbsp;</li><li dir="ltr">Zoning Board of Adjustments&nbsp;</li><li dir="ltr">Board of Health</li><li dir="ltr">Library Board of Trustees</li><li dir="ltr">Environmental Commission</li><li dir="ltr">Open Space Committee</li><li dir="ltr">Chatham Joint Recreation Committee</li><li dir="ltr">Colony Pool Committee</li></ul>
We are lucky to have so many volunteers step forward and lead. I do not want to politicize their work, but rather emphasize the balanced team in place and the intellectual diversity that exists on our subcommittees and boards.&nbsp;
If elected, I look forward to continuing the tradition of engaging with a variety of residents volunteering in our government and listening to members from all political parties and backgrounds.

To the Editor:
If I ever find myself a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire
 and in a position in which I must use my &ldquo;phone a friend&rdquo; lifeline, 
Mark Lois, running for re-election to the Chatham Township Committee, 
would undoubtedly be on my list of friends to call.
It
 turns out Mark Lois and I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic 
Institute in the same class. Mark Lois was a perfect fit for 
RPI. Intelligent, creative, and a little bit nerdy.
Even though Mark and I both graduated from 
RPI the same year, I didn&rsquo;t meet Mark until I joined the Colony Pool 
Club Advisory Committee. From our very first conversation about Colony,
 it was evident to me how much Mark cared about the pool. In true RPI 
fashion, Mark dedicated hours to analyzing pool data and summarizing the
 results in beautifully constructed reports that provided valuable 
insight to our Advisory Committee. 
In 
the upcoming year, decisions are going to be made by the Township 
Committee that could forever alter the beautiful, natural setting of 
Colony Pool Club. Currently, Mark Lois is the only Township Committee 
Member that is also a member of Colony. Mark worked alongside our pool 
committee this summer to make sure of a better outcome for pool 
construction: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/chatham/sections/government/articles/survey-results-are-in-for-colony-pool-wall-repair-design-66-1-of-respondents-prefer-the-curved-design-that-exists-now">https://www.tapinto.net/towns/chatham/sections/government/articles/survey-results-are-in-for-colony-pool-wall-repair-design-66-1-of-respondents-prefer-the-curved-design-that-exists-now</a>. If Mark Lois is not re-elected, I&rsquo;m truly concerned about what the future of our pool may look like. 
Not
 only is Mark committed to ensuring the Colony Pool Club is maintained 
and operated in a manner that best suits its membership, Mark, an 
engineer, has the aptitude to fully comprehend and contribute to 
conversations about topics that really matter to our small town &ndash; such 
as road maintenance, stormwater management, facility maintenance, etc. 
In public meetings, it is evident that Mark reads the reports, asks 
important questions, and works to make sure projects are done right and 
our tax dollars are wisely spent.
I used 
the adjective nerdy to describe Mark. This is a compliment to the vast 
knowledge my &ldquo;phone a friend&rdquo; has and that Colony Pool Club, and our 
Township, cannot afford to be without. Join me in re-electing Mark Lois
 this Tuesday.

Mark Lois: A Reliable Call for Our Township

Over the last several months, Craig Alperowitz has received endorsements from life-long Republicans, Democrats and Independents - all of whom agree that he is the best choice for Chatham Township Committee.
Amidst a political landscape that is highly split down party lines, there is broad alignment that Craig Alperowitz - a 7-year volunteer with the Chatham Emergency Squad, 24 year resident of Chatham Township and 10 year successful small business owner - is highly qualified, possesses the necessary qualifications and will serve the residents of Chatham Township well.

Township Committeeman Mark Lois is currently running for re-election driven by three main policy positions:
1) <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.chathamnjgop.com/chathamtownship#handouts">Support For Schools and Taxpayers</a>: End handouts for high density developments that don't fund our schools and cost taxpayers more.
2) <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.chathamnjgop.com/chathamtownship#demolish_police">Oppose The Demolition of Our Police Station</a>:
 The millions it will cost to rebuild is bad, clearing the land to give 
away as another handout to high density development is worse. 
3) <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.chathamnjgop.com/chathamtownship#residentfriendly">Ensure Resident Friendly Service: </a>Applying to improve your property should not be a maze for any resident, business or organization.
These substantive policy positions are thoroughly explored on his re-election <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.chathamnjgop.com/chathamtownship">webpage</a>.

Dear Chatham Township Residents,I am the only elected Republican ...

Substantive Policy Position Reasons To Re-Elect Chatham Township Committeeman Mark Lois

Over the last several months, numerous people have written letters to the editor endorsing Craig Alperowitz, candidate for Chatham Township Committee. 
Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike have commented on Craig&rsquo;s kindness, good-hearted nature, excellent communication skills, and his commitment to the Chatham community based on his 7 years of public service with the Chatham Emergency Squad, where he has served numerous roles and responsibilities in addition to being an active EMT.
Craig&rsquo;s website (<a href="http://www.craigforchathamtwp.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.craigforchathamtwp.com</a>) provides transparent information to voters about ways he can make a meaningful impact in three key areas:
<ol><li dir="ltr">Open Communications - bridging the gap between residents and government</li><li dir="ltr">Public Safety - supporting fellow first responders with resources they need to keep us safe</li><li dir="ltr">Maximizing Resources - better utilizing Township assets such as the Municipal Building and open spaces</li></ol>

Mark Lois seeks his second 3-year term against newcomer Craig Alperowitz, a volunteer EMT with the Chatham Emergency Squad and small business owner.
The Chatham Courier reported: &ldquo;Alperowitz has repeatedly said that he does not intend to displace anyone, or serve as a persistent &ldquo;yes&rdquo; vote. Instead, he has said he seeks to make a difference.&rdquo; It went on to say &ldquo;Alperowitz is approachable, kind, and is a frequent face at community events out of goodwill. We think Alperowitz will be an excellent contribution to the Chatham Township Committee.&rdquo;
The Chatham Courier follows a long line of residents and past elected officials across all political parties who have endorsed Craig Alperowitz for Chatham Township Committee. Among them included former Republican Mayor L. Tom Patterson, and other prominent residents of Chatham Township. A full list can be found below and online at <a href="https://craigforchathamtwp.com/news/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://craigforchathamtwp.com/news/</a>.

questions on this important topic. Development through PILOTS and high 
density housing impact every resident and our school system. Mark Lois' 
opponent, Craig Alperowitz has declined 21 opportunities to debate since
 June but is very welcome to ask questions along with all other 
residents.

Lessons Learned in Listening
I came to this campaign with no agenda or personal motive. It&rsquo;s the same reason I joined the Chatham Emergency Squad 7 years ago - because I believe I can make an impact and make a difference.
When the <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/chatham/categories/candidate-statements/articles/my-perspective-why-this-year-s-chatham-township-debate-fell-apart" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chatham Township Debate fell apart,</a> despite offering Mark Lois any date from September 23 until Election Day, which was refused or ignored, I knew I had to find alternative ways to reach voters. I&rsquo;ve embraced every possible opportunity to have the people of Chatham Township get to know me better. I have sent out a mailer introducing myself, built a <a href="http://www.craigforchathamtwp.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">public-facing website</a>, participated in <a href="https://www.newjerseyhills.com/chatham_courier/news/township-committee-candidate-alperowitz-presses-increased-communication-recreation/article_ba4c29d6-8a4b-11ef-b7a2-c792dd65b26d.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">an interview with the Chatham Courier</a>, have public social media accounts and received <a href="https://craigforchathamtwp.com/news/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">numerous published endorsements</a> about my character from Republicans and Democrats alike.
Paramount to all this, I have been going directly to the voters and knocking on doors; more than 1,300 so far. And in my conversations with hundreds of residents two observations stand out the most:
<ul><li dir="ltr">Residents want open lines of communications</li></ul>
An overwhelming majority of residents I&rsquo;ve spoken to would like to feel more informed and connected to the Township. They would like to have more opportunities to share their opinions, know they&rsquo;ve been heard and feel good about the decisions being made. 
<ul><li dir="ltr">Volunteerism is what makes Chatham a warm community</li></ul>
Community is created and sustained in large part by the hundreds of volunteers who sacrifice so much of their time. There are so many more things that unite us than divide us, thanks to the folks bringing us together for fun and in the face of challenges. From emergency services volunteers to scout troop leaders, members of Township committees and commissions to coaches and PTO and charity organizers - these are the people who make Chatham the best place to live, work and play.
I am confident that these are areas where I can support voters&rsquo; interests and give voice to their concerns. 
Above all, I hope you&rsquo;ve seen for yourself that my campaign has been positive, inclusive and transparent at every point. In fact, many times I fought hard to keep it that way and resisted the urgency to go negative. In the end, we are all neighbors who share a love of Chatham Township and while it is important for voters to see the differences between me and my opponent, I strived very hard to do it respectfully and constructively.
While there is more work to be done before Election Day, I&rsquo;d like to thank the people of Chatham Township for opening their doors and engaging in meaningful conversations over the past 3 months and I hope to earn your vote this November so I can work even harder for the people of Chatham Township.
