What are your thoughts about
Red Bank?
Hello!
I’m Chad Bullard, candidate for Red Bank Commission.
While my wife and I have been part of Red Bank, we have witnessed a community that puts its people first. I’ve spent the last two years showing up to city meetings and listening because I care about Red Bank and its future.
I believe anyone asking for your vote should be prepared to serve on day one.
But it isn’t just about knowing policies, budgets, and regulations. It’s about understanding how those decisions affect the people who live and work in the community.
With your vote, we can help Red Bank stay on track.
Priorities to
Stay on Track
Improve Our Infrastructure
1
A city’s people are the spirit of the community. Its infrastructure is the heart.
At its core, a city provides essential services to keep people safe and connected. Having the best services in the area will allow sustainable growth in all parts of Red Bank.
Better infrastructure means safer streets, effective stormwater management, and more reliable city services for every Red Bank resident.

Responsibly Fund Our City
Nearly 60% of our General Fund revenue comes from local taxes. Supporting growth can help lower that share. It should be no secret that our dedicated city employees nearly closed the ~$800,000 shortfall in less than one year, a great example of responsible budgeting.
City government has a lot of moving parts, and taxpayers should know where funding comes from and where it goes. Responsible funding means continuing to support expanded grants, state funding, and public-private partnerships.
City Park, White Oak, and Stringer’s Ridge are a core part of our identity.
Red Bank can attract visitors and drive more investment to our community by supporting programming like Food Truck Fridays, Active Older Adults sessions, and holiday festivals.
New community spaces and events create new chances for our neighbors to meet and support local businesses.
Maintain Our Community Events and Park Spaces

For the first time in Red Bank’s history, we have a roadmap for our largest projects and their expenses. This can help avoid unexpected budget shifts or major spending in our general fund.
Keeping with the 5-year plan lets the city strategically plan so Red Bank residents can see exactly where we are investing in our future. Click for 2027 outline.
SPECIAL NOTICE: This year, our ballot will include a referendum to update our city charter. The charter is currently out of date and not in alignment with state law.

If you think the city charter SHOULD BE updated, please vote YES on the referendum.
