Continuous Bridgewater resident since 1978, attended grade school through high school in Bridgewater, and lived in 8 different addresses. Married and raising 4 children in Bridgewater.

Efficient, conservative budgets

No local government representative has a better record of voting for fiscally conservative budgets than Councilman Pedroso

Under the fiscal watch of the Filipe Pedroso, Bridgewater had experienced a basically flat-tax situation before Mayor Moench took office, with several years of a downward trend. Although the residential municipal tax has increased over the past few years, Pedroso was the lone NO vote against excessive taxation.

During former Councilman Pedroso’s service on the Budget-Finance Committee, he took Bridgewater to the lowest municipal tax rate of Somerset County. During that time, he was an unwavering vigilant fiscal conservative, and former Councilman Pedroso was able to push for efficient, effective and fiscally conservative budgets – preventing unnecessary tax increases, while increasing the police, recreation and other essential services' budgets.
