We are Dave Bradler & Shelton Hollers, your candidates for the Park Ridge Board of Education. Dave is currently a member of the board seeking reelection. Shelton is a newcomer eager to support his community and brings a wealth of experience in learning and education. We are seeking your support in the upcoming election.
As residents of Park Ridge, we all want to provide the best education opportunities and resources to the children in our community. High-performing school districts help keep property values high and attract high-quality educators.
The Board of Education is a nonpartisan office. As board members, we will honor the objective, data-driven decision-making tradition. Today’s politics can be polarizing, but we are committed to keeping politics out of the Park Ridge Board of Education while putting your valuable school taxes to work.
Two seats are open in the November 5th election, and we hope to have your vote.
Dave, a long-time resident of Park Ridge, is a seventh-grade teacher in Bergen County. In addition to his experience in the classroom, he has also dedicated himself to his elected position on the Park Ridge Board of Education for the past six years. During this time, he was also proud to serve as Board President for three years..
His commitment to the community is also evident in his volunteer work as a coach for softball, soccer, and basketball, where he has positively impacted the lives of many young athletes.
Shelton and his family moved from Brooklyn to Park Ridge in 2021 because of our excellent school system. Since moving into our community, he has been an avid supporter of West Ridge and now the middle school. He is focused on prioritizing educational excellence.
He has over 20 years of experience in Learning & Education. He has served on the Board of Directors for the Association of Talent Development (ATD).
