A Champion for Our Nonpartisan Values

 

Joe Charles played a leading role in the successful “Vote No” campaign that decisively defeated the public question to make our township elections partisan, safeguarding West Windsor's nonpartisan traditions by a remarkable 2:1 margin. During his 17 years as an active West Windsor resident, he has volunteered in everything from sports and education to fostering rescue dogs. His financial acumen and commitment to local community-driven governance will make him a great addition to our Township Council.
