(Morris County) – Democratic Morris County Commissioner candidates Justin Strickland (Chatham Borough Councilman), Jonathan Sackett (Rockaway Township Councilman), and William “Bud” Ravitz (Morris Township Committeeman) are honored to be awarded the 2024 Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction.

“Common sense gun reform is what makes New Jersey one of the safest states in the nation – and we will always support smart safety measures and secure gun ownership education to protect our communities,” the candidates say.

After the catastrophic, deadly shooting at a Uvalde, TX elementary school in 2022, the current all-Republican County Commissioners declined to pass a proclamation on gun violence submitted by the nonpartisan Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense. Instead, a month later, their response was a Resolution that focused on “crime and gang-plagued urban centers” and “rioting and unrest.” The resolution deflected on the issue of common sense gun regulation, ignoring extensive data that shows sensible restrictions on gun ownership effectively reduces gun violence.

Strickland, Sackett, and Ravitz are committed to keeping school children and all of Morris County safe by supporting a common-sense approach to gun ownership.

After decades of a one-party Morris County Board of Commissioners, Strickland Sackett, and Ravitz are ready to revitalize the county with a focus on your voice: Voices that have been asking for a new strategy to combat overdevelopment and better government transparency.

This team of experienced elected officials will always show up for the community. They’ll prioritize community engagement, always seeking to save taxpayer dollars with an eye toward shared services. They know how to make improvements for more livable communities – they’ve done it in their towns and they can do it for the whole county.
