HAMILTON TOWNSHIP DEMOCRATS

ANNOUNCE 2019 CANDIDATES

Hamilton, NJ – Chairperson Barbara Plumeri announced the results of Municipal Committee Endorsement Meeting held last night at the Ancient Order of Hibernians Hall.

“With a record-breaking turn-out of Democratic Committee persons, the Committee unanimously selected Council President Jeff Martin to run for Mayor, and also selected Pat Papero and Nancy Phillips to run for Town Council. These candidates represent the growing strength of the Democratic Party in Hamilton Township.”

Councilman Jeff Martin was first elected to Council in 2017 along with Anthony Carabelli, Jr. and Rick Tighe in the first Democratic sweep of Hamilton Council in 18 years.  Jeff is a US Air Force veteran and an Attorney who resides in Hamilton with his wife Scarlett.

 Pap Papero is a lifelong Hamilton resident.  He is a Mercer County Sheriff’s Officer and PBA Delegate for Local 187. Pat has been very involved in his community serving as a coach for Hamilton Little Lads.  He lives with his wife Stacy and his two children, Dominic and Lea.

Nancy Phillips is a sixth-grade social studies school teacher. Inspired by her daughter’s challenges with a rare disease, she has been a grassroots organizer of a National organization that supports families with rare diseases.  Nancy has fought against large insurance companies to get her daughter the medication she needs and will bring that same fighting spirit to standing up for Hamilton taxpayers.  Nancy and her husband Rich live in Hamilton with their two daughters.

“I could not be happier to start the campaign with Pat and Nancy.  They are two professionals who share the same vision for Hamilton: a focus on economic redevelopment, improved public safety, and stabilized taxes,” said Martin.

“As a lifelong resident of Hamilton, I look forward to serving the residents of Hamilton.  I am excited to work with Jeff and Nancy as we reach out to the people of Hamilton. I believe people are ready new ideas and a renewed commitment to listening to the concerns and issues Hamiltonians are facing today.” said Papero.

“I know what it’s like to fight against a large institution that doesn’t care for the people they serve; I have fought against insurance companies for my daughters and others like her and will fight just as hard for Hamilton taxpayers.  We need a change in the way elected officials serve the people of this town, said Phillips, “and I am ready to run.”
