Greetings Montclair residents!

In 1992, and for 6 additional election cycles through 2016, you gave me your overwhelming support by keeping me on the Montclair City Council because I demonstrated integrity, commitment to our community, and fiscal order. In 2020, I chose to not run after serving as your City Councilwoman for 28 years. However, my love for, and 40-year commitment to Montclair, and lifelong dedication to my family and business compels me to reconsider and return to the seat I vacated. I plan to continue the reputation of progress, strength, and hope I helped establish for our community during my years on the City Council. Montclair deserves representatives committed to building a first-class community and who are respectful toward all Montclair residents, workers and business members. Return me to the Montclair City Council and I will continue my fight to improve our parks, maintain our roads, promote safe routes to schools, support public safety, attract new businesses, expand your entertainment options, develop affordable housing, bring the Gold Line light Rail system to Montclair’s Transit Center, and revive Montclair Place. Vote Carolyn Raft on November 5, 2024.
