Jackson Township, NJ—In an unexpected turn of events in the local political scene, former Jackson Township Councilman Rob Nixon has endorsed the Republican slate of Nino Borrelli, Mordy Burnstein, and Guiseppi Palmeri for the upcoming council election.
Nixon, known for his staunch anti-development stance from 2013 to 2019, highlighted the importance of electing leaders who prioritize conservative budgeting, responsible planning, and public safety.
Rob Nixon, who co-authored several ordinances to restrict development in Jackson, saw these measures later overturned by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Despite this setback, Nixon remains a key figure in state politics, respected for his efforts to control the town’s growth and preserve its character against what he described as “unfunded and unreasonable mandates” from Trenton.
In his endorsement, Nixon praised the Republican candidates for their commitment to the core values of Jackson’s residents. “Nino, Mordy, and Guiseppi have demonstrated that they can stand up for what Jackson’s residents care about the most,”
The endorsement is seen as a critical move in the lead-up to the November elections, potentially swaying voters concerned with the direction of development and fiscal responsibility in Jackson Township.
Nino Borrelli, Mordy Burnstein, and Guiseppi Palmeri have been actively campaigning on a platform of community improvement, transparency, and economic responsibility. Their alignment with Nixon, who is viewed as a guardian of Jackson’s traditional values, adds weight to their campaign, promising a continuation of the fight against overdevelopment and for the interests of long-time residents.
This week, the Jackson PBA slammed the Republican’s opponents for anti-police rhetoric and actions online. Elenor Hannum, who is seeking office with her husband Eric has a $500,000 lawsuit pending against the township. Her running mate, Amanda Trombetta, recently sued the police, earning her a $1.5 million settlement in the matter.
A third-party candidate, Hope Drew, has been running a strong campaign against both tickets, but a recent feud between her and the Hannum and Hannum team has soured a cooperative effort by that team to choose any of the four candidates not in Column L ticket. Drew is now urging residents to vote only for her, casting no other votes for other candidates.
