What is Put Oradell First?
Put Oradell First is a coalition of Oradell citizens of different political perspectives, including Republicans, Democrats and Independents, who came together in response to Oradell's one-party system that was not responsive to Oradell's needs. It was created to foster a healthy two-party system and preserve Oradell's heritage through sound fiscal management and open government. Our movement is supported by local volunteers interested in preserving choice and putting the welfare of our town and its citizens ahead of traditional politics.
We have been successful, thanks to the citizens of Oradell, and the result has been an improvement in Oradell's way of life. In 2010 New Jersey Monthly ranked us as the seventh best place to live among the 70 municipalities in Bergen County (Read article). Our housing value has also stood up very well during this latest recession (see table).

Our Mission
To operate and maintain a grass roots network of people that is open, inclusive and accessible to all; a community organization that reaches out to all people increasing participation in local issues and elections and serving as the focus for election of candidates to local offices. We seek to educate, recruit, and mobilize Oradell residents to support principles and values, and to elect candidates who support those principles and values.
