Republican Candidate Endorsed for Cranbury Township Committee Run

Republican candidate Thomas Connolly announced his run for Cranbury’s Township Committee Tuesday.

“The town has been a great place to grow up and I want to see the quality of life we have in Cranbury maintained for future generations,” Connolly said in an email. 

This 20-year resident said he would like to see Cranbury be more “business friendly and less government intervention.”

He said he would also like to have an open dialogue with residents and is committed to keeping Cranbury affordable.

“I think I would bring to the committee a strong business background, leadership skills and the time and commitment needed for the position,” Connolly said.

Connolly graduate James Madison University with a degree in Business Administration and is a manager at Westminster Hotel in Livingston, the news release said. He is also involved in several charities, including Adopt-A-Platoon, which raises money for the troops. He created and directed a local chapter of the organization. 

The Cranbury Republican District Committee voted for Connolly to run, and the Republican Municipal Chair endorsed his candidacy, according to a news release.

He has also received endorsements from Township Committee member Dan Mulligan, former Mayor Win Cody, former Township Committee member Art Hasselbach, former Mayor Wayne Wittman and last years candidate Karen Callahan.
