Cresskill - Dennis Shulman may not be able to see, but he certainly can listen.
The Democratic candidate for Congress in state’s 5th District began his listening tour July 1 when he visited seniors at CareOne at Dunroven in Cresskill, a facility offering both long- and short-term rehabilitation services.
Shulman, a Demarest resident, introduced himself to the seniors and explained the aspects that set him apart from other candidates.
“Most people who run for Congress are lawyers,” Shulman said. He explained that he is a clinical psychologist and a rabbi. He also talked about his blindness. “You may have noticed my white cane. I’ve been blind since I was a teenager. I’m now 58 years old. I’ve been blind for 40 years.”
Shulman told the seniors that obstacles like blindness shouldn’t hold people back. “No matter how disabled a person is, no matter how difficult life is, we can do better. We can find a better way to solve problems,” he said. (Read more at NV Suburbanite)
