MORRIS PLAINS — Cathie Kelly and Adam Tyburski are vying for the Republican nomination for Borough Council in June, with Kelly seeking her third three-year term and Tyburski making his first-time candidacy.
Dennis Wagner, completing his initial term in December, opted not to pursue re-election.
Endorsed by the Morris Plains Republican County Committee, Kelly chairs the Ordinance and Public Utilities for the township and serves on the Planning Board.
“I advocate for fiscal conservatism and strive to maintain equitable taxes for all residents,” Kelly affirmed. “My commitment to conservative Republican principles remains steadfast, and I pledge to uphold these ideals in my next term.” A Morris Plains resident of 45 years, Kelly is an educator in the borough and balances her council duties with substitute teaching.
Together with her husband, Bill, they raised six children who attended Morris Plains Schools, and she holds a bachelor of arts degree from Glassboro State College, now Rowan University.
Meanwhile, Tyburski, partner, and co-owner of Adlaur LLC, a consultancy firm advising insurance executives, brings his expertise to the political arena. He holds various professional designations and earned a master’s in Insurance Management from Boston University.
“While Morris Plains has seen significant improvements during my residency, there’s still crucial work ahead,” Tyburski remarked. “Renewing the downtown area, upholding public safety, and ensuring landlord accountability are top priorities.”
He emphasized the importance of community cohesion, advocating for the continuation of cherished traditions like holiday events and parades as the borough approaches its Centennial.
Tyburski aims to contribute to fostering a vibrant business environment, promoting fiscal responsibility, and guiding the borough through its next phase of growth. With extensive experience in building businesses in regulated environments, he believes he’s uniquely positioned to support Morris Plains’ development.
Residing in Morris Plains for over a decade with his wife, Jennifer, and their two sons, Charlie and Henry, Tyburski is committed to serving his community and seeking residents’ support for his candidacy.
