Meet The Mayors

Some might argue that since we all love this town, Ringwood’s long-standing Republican leadership must be doing a good job, right?

Not necessarily.

The things we cherish most—our natural setting, scenic parks and historic manors exist because of state and county conservation (mainly Democratic), not local mandates and our unique lake communities thrive thanks to countless volunteers.

When you look at the Republican’s track record after a century of control; you find a quarry that pays little in taxes, a toxic Superfund site that will be here for generations, and decades of decay at Fieldstone Shopping Center.

Could this be the reason borough hall’s legacy has been hidden?

The Borough of Ringwood currently operates under the Council-Manager (Faulkner Plan E) form of government with seven council members. Every two years - either three or four seats are up for election with the majority deciding which councilmember will be mayor.
