Introduction

Dr. Joeigh Perella (she/her) and LaRae Newton-Smith (she/her) are running for Cumberland County Commissioner! Both are running because of their deep connection to Cumberland County and desire to serve their community! Dr. Perella is a dentist and life long resident of Cumberland County and LaRae is an educator who raised her family here in Cumberland County. Both Joeigh and LaRae are excited to share with you their plan for Cumberland County!

“Over the course of my professional career, I saw how Cumberland County has fallen behind. No longer was it the community where my parents successfully raised a family on a working-class wage. As a daughter of Cumberland County, I know what we are capable of when we have dedicated leadership and resources. As Cumberland County Commissioner I will always fight for my home!”

– LaRae Newton-Smith

“I believe in a Cumberland County where everyone can succeed! Growing up in Cumberland County I was told many times to get an education and to get out. Well, that never sat well with me. So, the focus of this campaign is creating a Cumberland County where everyone can achieve the best version of their life, right here! No matter who you are, I will work to make sure your dreams can come true in Cumberland County!”

– Dr. Joeigh Perella
