A Message From The Mayor

I am deeply honored to serve Stillwater Township as your Mayor. I began this journey after a memorable conversation with Mr. Charlie Gross, who served for many years on the Township Committee as a Committeeman and Mayor. He told me he was stepping down and encouraged me to run for his position. After speaking to several residents and Community Leaders, I decided to run.

Following in the footsteps of Mayor Lisa Chammings, I know I have big shoes to fill. I am committed to building a strong foundations and guiding Stillwater Township with integrity, openness, and focus on positive, practical results.

My priorities are clear: strengthen the Department of Public Works, address our tree management needs, ensure reliable power delivery, and remain available to every resident who needs to reach me. I welcome your ideas, questions, and feedback as we work together to keep Stillwater Township a wonderful place to live for years to come.

I am incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made in Stillwater Township over the past few years. Our Fire Department and EMS have added new apparatus and expanded training to keep our neighborhoods safe. The Recreation Commission continues to serve our youth and our seniors with programs held at our Community Center, making it a welcoming hub for gatherings of every kind.

I am committed to ongoing support for these essential organizations and to exploring ways Stillwater Township can strengthen its tax base, including pursuing revenue-generating opportunities that benefit the entire community. This couldn’t be accomplished without the dedicated help and guidance from the members of the Planning and Zoning Boards, and the Historical Society.

In conclusion, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our exceptional Township Committee and Township Attorney, whose collaboration and shared vision make Stillwater Township the remarkable place it is. I am incredibly proud of our dedicated staff and the Town Hall team whose professionalism, kindness, and hard work serve every resident each day. Together, we are the strongest when we work as one team for the people we serve. And lastly, I wouldn’t be where I am today, and the person I am, if I didn’t have the love and support of my amazing family and close friends.

Thank you for believing in me.

-Mayor Vera Rumsey
