Our candidates for Township Committee

The Township Committee is a five-member governing body elected at-large, so every member answers to the whole Township. It adopts the budget, passes ordinances, and chooses the mayor from among its members each January.

George Talarico

Republican · Full three-year term

An attorney and engineer who has lived in Morris Township for more than 25 years. George wants the true cost of new housing to schools, services, and infrastructure counted up front, stronger safeguards in the Abbey redevelopment agreement, and students taught how their local government works.
