About the BTDC

The Bernards Township Democratic Committee (BTDC) is dedicated to bringing our community together, to making our town a better place to live and work, and to solving local issues with transparency, balance and compassion.

The committee is made up of a diverse group of conscientious and engaged residents: men and women in our community, representing a broad range, among other attributes, of cultural backgrounds, races and ethnicities, religions, ages, education and professional experience. We offer Bernards Township another option at the polls for a new perspective on local government. We are dedicated to bringing a balanced democracy and transparency to the township committee. We work for the people of Bernards Township by listening and responding to their concerns for the betterment of our community.
