Celebrating 128 years of Philippine independence and honoring the rich culture, history, and resilience of the Filipino people. We are grateful for the many contributions the Filipino community brings to Bergen County, helping make our county stronger, more vibrant, and more diverse.

Some people make a difference through their work, while others leave a lasting legacy through the lives they touch. June Montag has done both during her 40 years of service to Bergen County. Thank you for your leadership, friendship, and commitment to making our community a better place.

Today, we celebrated 25 years of impact, restoration, and community at the Teaneck Creek Conservancy. What was once a neglected landfill has been transformed into a vibrant environmental and educational resource thanks to the dedication of volunteers, educators, advocates, and community partners.

I was truly honored to be recognized by the Conservancy during today’s anniversary brunch. Seeing firsthand how much this space has grown over the past 25 years is inspiring, and a reminder of what can be accomplished when a community comes together with a shared vision.

Congratulations to everyone who has helped shape this remarkable success story. Here’s to the next chapter of protecting, preserving, and inspiring future generations.

Only 8 more days until the FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks off!

Today, Bergen County got a special preview as the iconic FIFA World Cup Trophy made its official stop right here at home. Unveiled this morning in East Rutherford, the trophy’s arrival marks the beginning of an unforgettable summer as the world prepares to take center stage in our region. We also had the opportunity to meet soccer legend Bastian Schweinsteiger, making this exciting countdown even more memorable.
