Deeb won’t seek fourth term on Morristown council; cites ‘mean’ politics, need for breather

“The role of a local councilperson is to help and nurture others; I feel strongly now is the time where I need to nurture and help myself,” she said in a statement to Morristown Green. Deeb is one of only two Republicans on the council. Yet they signed a petition for Democratic candidate Sandi Mayer, a member of the town Shade Tree Commission. “When I saw their names on my opponent’s petition, I was disillusioned. I am just not ready for a ‘dog fight’ this fall over politics, and would rather continue to work on my own ‘pet charities,'” including more pet therapy work and puppy raising for The Seeing Eye in Morris Township, continued Deeb. “National politics has no place in local towns. At the end of the day when I am judged for being a ‘Republican’ over a ‘Democrat, woman, well, my good friend, (comic) C. L. Thomas from Maine would say, ‘That just aint’ right,'” said Deeb, who will be honored next week by Leadership Morris, a branch of the Morris County Chamber of Commerce.
