<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites. Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Numero</a></li></ul>

Call to Action

<h3>Adam is a lifelong Hunterdon County resident, raising his children in the community he loves.</h3><img src="https://run.imgix.net/240806ae-01e1-443a-ba83-d73dd4f1797d/bd69206e-146f-4d6a-ad6a-197cb25e8245/bd69206e-146f-4d6a-ad6a-197cb25e8245.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C469%2C395&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Growing up in Bethlehem Township, Hunterdon County gave me an early and lasting love for this part of the state we all call home. I built lifelong friendships there and carry fond memories of days at Spruce Run, bike rides to Asbury, and knowing I was almost home when I spotted Johnny's Truck Stop. Even as a kid, I knew how special this area was, and now my wife and I are lucky enough to be raising our own family here, surrounded by so many great friends and neighbors.With that strong foundation behind me, I went on to complete a five-year Master of Education degree at Rutgers College and the Graduate School of Education in New Brunswick. That experience launched a career in public education that has now spanned 21 years and is still going strong. Pursuing public service on the Township Committee feels like a natural next chapter in a career defined by commitment to others.My wife and I have called Raritan Township home for the past 16 years, and have been raising our kids here for 11 of them. Like so many of you, our days are a juggling act of school, activities, and the never-ending question of how we are going to make it all work. What we have come to realize is how much we depend on our family, friends, and neighbors to help us get there, and how much we want to give that same support back.But we also know that for many families, including ours, affordability has become a real concern. From rising costs to the pressures on household budgets from increased taxes and fees, it's getting harder for people to build the kind of stable, fulfilling life they want right here at home. I believe we can tackle these challenges with common-sense decision making and a thoughtful, practical approach to problem solving.Watching our children thrive here is one of the greatest rewards of our lives. Whether it's school, sports, or seeing them march in a local parade with their friends, it is a constant reminder that this community only works when we all show up for it. That's why I want to invest more of my time in helping ensure Raritan Township is a place we're all proud to call home, one where families can put down roots, kids can thrive, and residents of every age can afford to stay and succeed. Together, we can keep this community strong for years to come.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Service isn't what I do. It's who I am.</h3><img src="https://run.imgix.net/240806ae-01e1-443a-ba83-d73dd4f1797d/f89fe43f-c91d-451d-8222-5ed733246396/f89fe43f-c91d-451d-8222-5ed733246396.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C640%2C480&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Originally from Brooklyn, NY, I spent my early years in Margate, NJ, just outside of Atlantic City. I attended Rutgers University for my undergraduate studies and later earned my graduate degree from the Rutgers School of Social Work, specializing in Violence Against Women and Children. Since 2004, I have been a proud resident of Raritan Township, where I have dedicated my career as a Licensed Social Worker to serving Hunterdon County non-profits.For the past 15 years, my family has been deeply involved in the Flemington-Raritan School District (FRSD) and later Hunterdon Central Regional High School (HCRHS). As a committed advocate, I have been a consistent and outspoken presence at Board of Education meetings, an active PTO member, and a dedicated volunteer for various booster clubs. My oldest child has gone through both FRSD and HCRHS, while my younger child is still in FRSD. Through that involvement, I've seen firsthand how funding pressures affect our schools and the families who depend on them. I know how important it is to have decision-makers who understand what's actually at stake in those classrooms.Outside of my professional and volunteer work, my husband and I have built a small homestead where we raise chickens and honey bees, tend to fruit trees, and maintain a large garden. We met at Rutgers as undergraduates and have been together for 26 years, married for 23. Like so many families here, we feel the pull between loving this community and navigating the very real pressures of affordability. Our passion for homegrown food, from cooking together and canning to baking all of our bread from a sourdough starter, started as a love of the land, but it also reflects something practical: finding ways to make a good life work here.Having transitioned from city life — where cement playgrounds, subways, and city water were the norm — to the open spaces of Hunterdon County, I've embraced a lifestyle of wood-burning stoves, well water, pickup trucks, and even shooting ranges. This blend of experiences has shaped my perspective and deepened my commitment to this place. I want Raritan Township to remain a community where families can put down roots and stay — not just survive the cost of living here, but truly thrive.

<h5>Sourdough English Muffins Recipe</h5>Recipe by Amy DuskaThese easy sourdough english muffins cook up light and fluffy, with a delicious sourdough flavor! Mix everything the night before and wake up to a beautiful dough that's ready to be cut out and cooked to "nook and cranny" perfection!PREP TIME 20 minutes minsTOTAL TIME 1 day dCOOK TIME 8 minutes minsSERVINGS 10EQUIPMENTMixing BowlStand Mixer (optional)Baking SheetParchment PaperTea towelNon-stick skillet with coverINGREDIENTSIngredients to make ½ cup (100 g) of Active Sourdough Starter:▢ 1 tablespoon (15 g) sourdough starter▢ ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon (50 g) all-purpose flour▢ 3 ½ tablespoons (50) waterDough Ingredients:▢ ½ cup (100 g) active sourdough starter▢ 1 tablespoon (20 g) honey or maple syrup▢ 1 cup (240 g) milk or light coconut milk▢ 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour▢ 1 teaspoon (5 g) fine sea salt▢ ¼ cup (40 g) cornmeal for sprinklingINSTRUCTIONSFeed Your Sourdough Starter12 hours before you plan to mix the dough, add the ingredients to make ½ cup (100 g) of active sourdough starter to a clean jar. Stir until combined, loosely cover the jar and let the starter rise at room temperature. (The ingredients will create a total of 115 g active starter but, because some of it will stick to the sides of the jar during the transfer, we are making a little more than needed.) The sourdough starter is ready to use when it has doubled in size and there are plenty of bubbles on the surface and sides of the jar.Make the DoughAdd 100g of the active starter and the rest of the ingredients (except corn meal) to a large bowl and use your hands to mix until well combined. Cover and let rest 30-60 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead the dough by hand for 5 minutes. (A stand mixer with a dough hook attachment can be used on the lowest speed.)Place the dough back into the bowl, cover and let ferment on the counter at room temperature 8-12 hours. (Room temperature is 65-70°F)Cut and CookTurn the dough out onto a floured surface, flour the top of the dough and press it out using your fingertips until it is ½" in thickness.Use a 3" biscuit cutter to cut rounds and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet that's been sprinkled with cornmeal. Sprinkle the tops with cornmeal, cover with a tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour at room temperature.Preheat your non-stick skillet over LOW heat. Place 4 muffins into the skillet spaced 2" apart, cover and cook the first side for 4 minutes. Turn the muffins over and cook for an additional 4 minutes. (When done, the center of a muffin should register about 200°F on an instant-read thermometer.)NOTESUse the scoop and level technique to measure your flour if you do not have a kitchen scale. To do this, use a spoon to fluff up the flour in the bag. Use a spoon to scoop the flour into a measuring cup until it is heaped on top. Take a butterknife and level off the top. This should give you the most accurate measurement for flour.If you live in a very warm or humid environment, you may need to make adjustments in the recipe. I recommend reducing the milk by 30g and using granulated sugar instead of honey to help the dough from being too sticky to work with. Add more liquid if the dough is too stiff.Store at room temperature for up to 5 days in a container or freeze for up to 3 months.NUTRITIONServing: 1 muffinCalories: 161 kcalCarbohydrates: 32gProtein: 5gFat: 1gSaturated Fat: 1gCholesterol: 2mgSodium: 299mgPotassium: 70mgFiber: 1gSugar: 3gVitamin A: 39IUCalcium: 33mgIron: 2mg

<h2>Sourdough English Muffins</h2>I triple this recipe because they freeze well and are easy to defrost and use immediately. We eat them toasted with toppings, use them for breakfast sandwiches, and make them into mini pizzas.
