Government

Local government

Alexandria Township is governed under the Township form of New Jersey municipal government, one of 141 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form, the second-most commonly used form of government in the state.[19] The governing body is comprised of a five-member Township Committee, whose members are elected directly by the voters at-large in partisan elections to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with one seat coming up for election each year as part of the November general election in a three-year cycle.[20][21] At an annual reorganization meeting, the Township Committee selects one of its members to serve as mayor and another as deputy mayor.

In the November 2020 general election, voters approved a ballot question that asked if they wanted to expand the township committee from three members to five.[22][23] In November 2021, voters chose two candidates to serve three-year terms and one to serve a two-year term, so that there were five members elected to the Township Committee starting in January 2022.[24]

Шаблон:As of, members of the Alexandria Township Committee are Mayor Robert Mortara (R, term on committee and as mayor ends December 31, 2023), Deputy Mayor Jay M. Arancio (R, term on committee ends 2024; term as deputy mayor ends 2023), Tom Hudanish (R, 2025), James P. Kiernan (R, 2023) and Rudolph C. "Chris" Pfefferle (R, 2024).[25][26][7][27][28][24][22]

In September 2015, the Township Committee selected Michelle Garay from three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the vacant seat expiring in December 2016 that had been held by Harry Swift until his death in office earlier that month.[29][30][31]

Christian Pfefferle took office in November 2014 after running unopposed to fill the 14 months remaining in the term of the seat that had been vacated by Gabe Plummer when he resigned after he had moved outside of the township in January 2014; Curtis Schick had filled the seat on an interim basis.[32]
