The opposition in the SRRC was an outgrowth of the Committee of Concerned Saddle River Taxpayers, a nonpartisan group formed by residents who oppose the new borough hall project. This spring, Bergen County Republican Organization Chairman Bob Yudin awarded the party line to Rogers and Salazer. The move dismayed the new leaders of the SRRC, but Yudin previously explained that the choice to award the party line to Rogers and Salazer was his. Noting that there were no incumbents in the running, Yudin said he had to choose two candidates to run on the party line. He consulted with the municipal chair, Linda Rosato, who recommended Salazer and Rogers. Yudin said he then consults with the highest ranking elected official, who, in this case, is Saddle River Mayor Samuel Raia. Raia, Yudin said, also recommended Salazer and Rogers. Mayor Raia is also the Republican state chairman. Gray has lived in Saddle River for 10 years. In addition to serving as trustee of the SRRC, Gray is a frequent participant at council and board of education meetings. He said he is a firm believer in community participation in local politics. He has practiced law for more than 30 years with two financial services industry leaders where he has gained insight into inclusive and transparent governance models. He said his experience has given him critical thinking skills that will enhance the council’s decision making process. Kerner has lived in Saddle River for eight years. She has been a trustee of the Saddle River Republican Club and has been its membership chairperson for the past two years, during which time the club has grown from 130 to 430 members.

She is a certified public accountant and a licensed private investigator. She is a Girl Scout leader, a Wandell School volunteer, and an active member of her church. Rogers, a 13-year borough resident, is a member of the planning board, the Cell Tower Task Force, and the Middle School Committee.
