Have you made plans to hit the courts lately? 🎾

Green Knoll Tennis Center, right across the street from Bridgewater-Raritan High School, has plenty of space for tennis and pickleball. Thanks to the work of our County Commissioners, it looks better than ever.

Remember: a vote for Democratic leadership by November 3 is a vote to keep our great outdoors pristine and fun!

Congrats to Commissioners Paul Drake and Elizabeth Graner for earning coveted endorsements from the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters! From parks expansion to renewable energy and more, this support is recognition that our local ecosystem is a paramount asset that will never be ignored.

“I’m proud to have the support of the League of Conservation Voters and grateful for their leadership in fighting for a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future," said Commissioner Paul Drake. "Somerset County has an obligation to be a responsible steward of our land and natural resources, while also protecting our communities from the challenges of climate change. As County Commissioner, I look forward to continuing our partnership with LCV and working together to protect open space, strengthen our infrastructure, and make smart investments that benefit both our environment and our residents.”

“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters and grateful for their partnership and leadership in protecting our environment," said Commissioner Graner. "Somerset County’s open spaces, parks, farms, and natural resources are part of what makes our communities such a wonderful place for all families to live and play, and that's why as County Commissioner I will continue to work thoughtfully and strategically to ensure they're preserved for generations to come. I look forward to continuing the great work LCV has spearheaded across the county to advance responsible growth, protect our environment, invest in sustainable infrastructure, and ensure that our county remains a great place to live for anyone that calls Somerset home.”

Get you a public servant who can do both 🇺🇸

Commissioner Paul Drake is knocking doors in Raritan and all over Somerset County this week talking about everything your county government does for you (and the importance of this year’s Congressional race) so be on the lookout!

Bonus pic from Hillsborough’s Rotary Fair, and yes, the donkey’s name is Donkey and we love that 🫏🥹

Always time for a few doors before the storm rolls in! If you see Commissioner Elizabeth in your neighborhood, say hi!

We’re spending the summer outdoors talking about everything the County Commissioners do for our neighbors.

From parks to pools, from veterans’ services to vo-tech schools, from road repair to healthcare—you likely see the work they do every day, and may not even know it!

If you see people with County logos on their vests walking around your neighborhood, it’s our Community Outreach Team, here to spread the word about ALL the resources we offer!

Some snapshots from last week's brand new Genoa Pharmacy opening in Richard Hall Community Health and Wellness Center!

Commissioner Elizabeth Graner was proud to attend the ribbon cutting for the newest victory in an innovative public/private project: not simply as an attendee, but as a partner. For several years now, the County has invested in Richard Hall, a leader in whole-person, single-location care. Richard Hall has now blossomed to include on-site behavioral health, pharmacy, and primary medical and dental services.

This all-encompassing model represents the cutting edge of healthcare trends and has been a boon for community wellness. Our County Commissioner Board is so proud to support Richard Hall, now and into the future!
