Tragni Joins Republican Team in Bid for Marlboro Township Council Seats

Marlboro, NJ - Rosa Tragni, a Marlboro Township resident since 1995, has joined Steve Rosenthal and current Republican Councilman Jeff Cantor in their bid for the three seats on the Township Council in November.

Republicans selected Tragni to replace Colleen Napoli who won in the June 7 primary along with Cantor and Rosenthal but chose not to continue her candidacy.

Tragni is a self-employed attorney who specializes in family law, and practices on a part-time basis in New York. She is the mother of two children who both attend Marlboro public schools, and is active in travel baseball and swim team.

The Cantor, Rosenthal and Tragni platform focuses on stabilizing property taxes and growth in the township; and continuing to root out corruption in politics.

Tragni is also a strong advocate of enhancing the quality of life in Marlboro Township, particularly for senior citizens.

“Rising property taxes and the traffic congestion that has resulted from over development impacts all of us negatively,” Tragni said. “But these issues are felt even more strongly by the senior community. We need to make sure that Marlboro remains a desirable and affordable place for senior citizens to live.”

Tragni also hopes to help create more recreational amenities in the community for citizens of all ages, as well as work to continue strengthening Marlboro schools.

The addition of Tragni on the Republican ballot for Marlboro Township Council creates a team of candidates with demonstrated leadership and business experience and active involvement in the community.

Cantor, who is filling a one-year term, is seeking his first full term on the governing body. A resident of Marlboro for 10 years, he is a district sales manager for Astrazeneca Pharmaceutical and a volunteer emergency medical technician. A major in the U.S. Army Reserve, Cantor returned to the United States in March 2004 following one year of service in Iraq where he helped to establish a new government in the northern city of Kirkuk following the fall of Saddam Hussein.

Rosenthal is the founder and CEO of CheckPoint HR, a human resources management and payroll outsourcing company where he has grown revenues to over $15 million in four years. He previously led two other hugely successful companies, one of which became one of the largest Human Resources outsourcing companies in the United States with venues of $1.2 billion. A father of three, Rosenthal is currently the chairman of the Open Space committee.
