Mayor James Taylor

Mayor James Taylor said he is no longer associating with the Cranbury Democratic Committee. He said he is still a democrat, but will have no association with the democratic leadership in town.

“Other than the courtesy of professional things that I have to reach out the the party chair for x, y and z issues, I will do that. I am not having any political discussions with the Cranbury Democratic party,” Taylor said.

He said this decision comes about due to a Defund Hate rally held on Sept. 11 by Indivisible Cranbury. The date of the rally, he said, was the issue and he asked democratic leadership in town to speak out on the date and had been concerned with the silence of party leadership officials.
