Roselle Fifth Ward Councilwoman Rosetta McCamery Launches Meet and Greet Initiative
Maria Torres · Union County Life
Roselle Fifth Ward Councilwoman Rosetta McCamery has launched a new neighborhood constituent initiative to connect directly with local residents this September. The program introduces a structured series of localized meetings designed to gather community feedback on a regular basis.
The initiative offers residents living within the fifth ward a direct avenue to share neighborhood ideas and concerns face-to-face with their representative. Union County Life noted that the push follows a separate community municipal outreach program introduced by Mayor Donald Shaw known as his Block Tour campaign. While the two initiatives are organized independently, local leaders noted they share parallel goals regarding direct local constituent services.
McCamery, a United States Air Force veteran, emphasized that the timing of the neighborhood campaign is intentional. The local representative is not on the ballot for the upcoming November election, which she noted underlines her commitment to year-round constituent service rather than typical seasonal campaign outreach. The block-by-block efforts expand upon her current public resource schedule, which includes hosting regular bimonthly constituent meetings at the Anthony Amalfe Community Center. McCamery plans to conduct the new sessions at neighborhood residential areas and small businesses throughout the ward.
