Lawrence, NJ: Last night, the Lawrence Democratic Committee overwhelmingly elected four new Executive Board members in a contested reorganization: Chairwoman Elissa Grodd Schragger, Esq., Vice Chairman Eric Puliti, Treasurer Theo Siggelakis, and Secretary Catie MacDuff, Esq.

Elissa Grodd Schragger has practiced law for over 25 years and is a municipal attorney and litigator. She also serves as the President of the Mercer County Chapter of the Federation of Democratic Women. She has been married for 19 years to her husband Andy Schragger, has two teenagers and a puppy. She has lived in Lawrence for over fifteen years.

Eric Puliti is a long time Democrat and Lawrence Township resident with a career focused on local government and communications. He and his fiancé live in south Lawrence with their four rambunctious cats. In his spare time, he enjoys vegetable gardening, scouring thrift stores for mid-century furniture, and photography.

As a team, the Executive Board brings decades of political and governmental experience and trusted relationships to the Lawrence Township Municipal Committee.
