What a great evening today celebrating the 39 year career and retirement of Fair Haven Police Chief Joe McGovern. One of the best people i know - he has been an incredible friend and ally in his capacity as chief. I look forward to seeing him in retirement. Thank you Chief for all you did for the residents of Fair Haven.
Thank you to #TintonFalls small business instagram.com/_limitlesstrai… for the inspiration

Columbus Day is a celebration of Italian-American Heritage!
Today and all month-long, we celebrate the extraordinary contributions Italian Americans have made to Long Branch, to Monmouth County, and to our entire state. Generations of Italian immigrants came to New Jersey with little more than determination and a dream. They built businesses, raised families, served in our armed forces, and helped shape the communities we call home. Their values of faith, family, hard work, and service continue to strengthen New Jersey today. President Benjamin Harrison in 1892 called for this holiday in response to a mass lynching of 11 Italian Americans in New Orleans the year prior.
New Jersey is home to one of the largest Italian American communities in the nation, and Long Branch’s rich heritage is a big part of that story. As the son of immigrants myself, I know how much it means to see a community’s history and culture honored with pride.
I look forward to serving as Grand Marshal of the 2026 Long Branch Columbus Day Parade this upcoming Sunday. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and families who make this tradition possible year after year. I am looking forward to celebrating Italian culture and heritage with our Italian-American Community and friends.
