East Brunswick Democratic Organization

2026 Campaign Platform

East Brunswick Democrats have a proven record of delivering results for our community. In 2026, Kevin T. McEvoy, Jim Wendell, and Dana Consoli-Winston — running on Column B — are running on a platform built around the issues that matter most to East Brunswick families.

Fiscal Responsibility

A proven record of disciplined, transparent financial management that keeps taxes stable, attracts investment, and delivers more for every dollar.

  • East Brunswick holds an excellent bond rating — a direct reflection of our disciplined budgeting and financial stewardship that lowers borrowing costs and positions the township for continued growth and investment.

  • Our administration has secured over $30 million in state and federal grants and state aid over the last nine years, bringing outside dollars into East Brunswick and meaningfully reducing the burden on local taxpayers.

    Where Grant Dollars Help
  • We have maintained a stable, modest municipal tax rate — keeping increases minimal while continuing to deliver the high-quality services and infrastructure East Brunswick residents expect.
