First 100 Days
Full Time Mayor
As Mayor, Sam Joshi would serve Full-Time to address the growing challenges Edison is faced with. Our ailing infrastructure, outdated Master Plan, and absence of long term vision require a Mayor to be fully committed to serving the needs of the fifth largest town.
A New Master Plan
A Master Plan is a blueprint for a long-term Township vision. Edison's comprehensive Master Plan was last adopted over 30 years ago. The world has drastically changed since and it's time for a forward-thinking approach to our growth plans. Joshi's vision for Edison includes community-centric neighborhoods where residents of all ages can utilize a recreational area that also serves as their neighborhood's landmark. Examples of Sam Joshi's vision are provided in the videos of the "Vision" tab. With a background in public policy, Joshi is ready to shape our future.
