  • Democrats have done little to deserve re-election

    Township Council incumbents Francis "Mac" Womack and Carlo Socio have accomplished little in the three years they have been in office. The water contract is smoke and mirrors.

  • Affordable housing needed to keep seniors in township

However, nothing was done. North Brunswick is the only township that does not have an adult community. The Democrats promised to negotiate fairly…
