HANOVER TOWNSHIP — Committeemen Michael Mihalko and Brian Cahill have officially announced their intent to run for re-election to the Hanover Township Committee. They will run as a team in the Republican primary this June. As of now, there are no other candidates that have been announced.
Committeeman Mihalko has released this statement:
Once again, I am asking for your support as I run for re-election to the Hanover Township Committee.
It has been an honor and pleasure to serve Hanover Township for the past five years as a Committeeman and eight years before that as a Whippany Fire Commissioner. During that time, I worked hard to provide the best for Hanover Township while being fiscally responsible. As Director of Recreation and Open Space, I have worked tirelessly to improve our parks, playgrounds, fields, courts, and walking paths throughout the town. I have pushed hard to make needed additions to the Bee Meadow Pool and keep it open during the past years when other towns were shutting down due to Covid.
But my work is not done. We have many projects in the works, such as; a new full-size MULTI-purpose turf field at the Brickyard, new lights at Black Brook courts, new tennis/pickleball courts at Upper Malapardis, new turf infield at Black Brook Large. Three more phases of paths around the Bee Meadow ponds, to name a few. This is all done using savings and grant money and WITHOUT going into debt.
I want to thank you all again, and with your support, I can continue to work hard for the town I love.
Committeeman Cahill has released this statement:
My name is Brian Cahill, and I am a candidate for Hanover Township Committee in the 2023 election. As of this writing, I have served on the committee for five years. Before that, I served for ten years on the Hanover Township Board of Education and two years as Board President. I am proud of my work in both capacities and look forward to serving the community in which I was raised.
If elected, my goal is to continue the good work the committee has done. This includes keeping property taxes as low as possible without taking on debt, maintaining a fully staffed and highly trained police force, working closely with fire and EMS to ensure the finest services are provided township-wide, and protecting historical treasures throughout town. In addition, I plan on working closely with the administration to prepare the organization for future growth.
