Mayor-Elect Sharon Nadrowski today announced her selection of Andrew J. Casais as the next Business Administrator for the City of Bayonne. Casais brings more than 15 years of municipal management experience, including nearly three years as Bayonne's Chief of Staff from 2014 to 2017. During his career, he has championed major infrastructure investments, operational reforms, cost-saving initiatives, and innovative shared service programs.

“As we work to assemble the City’s new administration, our goal is to answer the overwhelming call for increased efficiency, fiscal responsibility, accountability, and a holistic and fundamental change to the way local government operates here in Bayonne,” said Mayor-Elect Sharon Nadrowski. “Andrew is exactly the kind of leader to help us build a government that seeks solutions and actually works for the people of Bayonne – He knows Bayonne, and I truly look forward to welcoming him back. ”

“I’m very passionate about local government because it is the closest to the people, and shapes the reality of daily life,” said Andrew J. Casais. “It is truly an honor to be chosen to serve in this position, and it is my intention to bring every aspect of my experiences to this role. I look forward to working alongside Mayor Nadrowski, the City Council, and City employees to build a better Bayonne.”

From 2019 through 2025, Casais served as Business Administrator for the Borough of Roselle Park, where he spearheaded historic capital improvement efforts that led to the improvement of 90% of the Borough’s municipal roadways and pedestrian infrastructure, along with marked improvements to municipal facilities and recreational spaces. During the same period, Casais oversaw the implementation of sound budgeting practices that led to debt reduction and increased municipal surplus reserves. Concurrently with his time as Administrator, Casais served as the Borough’s Municipal Clerk. In this role he positioned his office as an approachable neutral ground for local government, and highly prioritized election integrity, voter education, and voter outreach.

Casais holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Magna Cum Laude, from Seton Hall University. He holds licensure as a Registered Municipal Clerk and was previously licensed as a Qualified Purchasing Agent. Casais serves as a member of the Union County Vocational-Technical Schools Board of Education.
