Educators Endorse Tanelli for a third-term as BC Freeholder!
NORTH ARLINGTON – North Arlington resident and Bergen County Freeholder Steve Tanelli was endorsed by the Bergen County Education Association for a third-term of office.
Tanelli, a former three-term councilman, council president and acting mayor was gratified by the support of local teachers and educators.
“Public education is at the heart of our success as a community, county and culture. What makes us different and successful is a true economic investment in children, teachers, administrators and the notion that a well-educated community lifts all boats and makes Bergen County the special place it has become.”
Tanelli, who is now a grandfather and resides with his wife on Third Street is a senior marketing executive with Movado Watches located in Paramus, New Jersey and started his political career winning a seat on the North Arlington Borough Council in 2004 and was reelected in 2005, 2008 and 2011. He was elected to the Bergen County Board of Chosen Freeholders in 2012 and reelected in 2015. He is just the third North Arlington resident to serve on the freeholder board and just the fourth to serve in an elected capacity in county government. He is the only Democrat and the only freeholder to represent voters south of Route 4.
Tanelli has dedicated his time on the freeholder board renovating and refurbishing Bergen County’s Park System with an emphasis on Riverside County Park in Lyndhurst.
The Tanelli’s are parishioners of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Lyndhurst.
