Josh Aronovitch, running for Mayor of Washington Township (the one in Gloucester County), has a pretty cool diary up right now at Daily Kos about progressive local government. It definitely will give you some good background on Josh, why he's running for Mayor, and what has driven him into politics.

They say there is not a Democratic or Republican way to pick up trash.

However, there IS a progressive way to govern.  It means open honest transparent government.  It means building consensus in the community, not imposing a vision on the town.  It means not kowtowing to a county democratic party that seems to be more about rewarding contributors and amassing power than about doing right by the people.  

Local government isn't as sexy as the latest Obama vs Hillary diary, but it is crucial to the future success (or lack thereof) of our experiment in democratic self government.

Josh is someone I work with, and he's also someone I support wholeheartedly. So head over to dKos and show some love to someone who's been a good friend to Blue Jersey and who will make a great Mayor of Washington Township.
