Dear Editor, I am writing this letter with regard to Councilman Anthony Cappola and the outstanding qualities which make him the ideal person to represent your interests. It has been my privilege to know Anthony for the last 25 years. Over those years, Mr. Cappola has demonstrated leadership, passion and dedication which is unmatched. Anthony’s business acumen was clearly evident early on. While only a teenager, Anthony began his own entertainment business while the rest of us were playing games and watching television. Starting out in his parents’ living room, he turned a dream into a reality and has since turned that business into one of the most successful entertainment companies in northern NJ. Anthony was able to accomplish this on …

I am writing to support the candidacy of Paul Cordts and Anthony Cappola for River Edge Council.

November Republican candidate in River Edge will gain three months of experience as he fills a vacancy
With just a little over three months to go until the November election, Republican Council candidate Anthony Cappola of River Edge will be getting to experience what life is like on the governing body after being sworn in Monday night to fill the seat of Johnny Porco, who resigned from the Council June 5.

Previously, Cappola was a parochial school teacher where he…
