The East Windsor Township Council will remain firmly in Democratic control when the four incumbent council members were swept back into office for four-year terms following the Nov. 5 general election.

Incumbent council members Marc Lippman, Janice S. Mironov, Peter Yeager and John Zoller, who are all Democrats, handily outpolled Republican challengers Paul K. Hummel Jr., Anna Lustenberg, Vincent Stottlemyer and Steven Uccio.

Mironov, who has served in the ceremonial post of mayor since her election in 1996, was the top vote-getter with 3,254 votes. Lippman received 2,994 votes and Yeager got 2,983 votes. Zoller came in fourth place to keep his seat with 2,941 votes.

On the Republican side, voters gave Lustenberg 1,293 votes and Stottlemyer got 1,220 votes. Hummell received 1,212 votes and Uccio picked up 1,181 votes.

The vote tallies are unofficial and have not been certified by the Mercer County Clerk.

Mironov said she and her running mates have “an accomplished and proud record of governing and building community through being responsive, communicative, outreaching and accessible.”

Mironov said the municipal property tax rate has been flat for seven years. The township takes part in many shared services with other towns, and also seeks out state and county grants and donations to keep costs low.

Lippman said the governing body has focused on improving the quality of life for residents. The township developed a senior citizens center that was accomplished without tax dollars, and it has refurbished municipal parks and created new ones.

“My passion toward making East Windsor an exceptional place to live and raise a family has never changed. I look forward to continuing it,” Lippman said.

Yeager said his attendance at community events has allowed him to stay in touch with township residents, so he can better represent their perspective. They want the township to grow, while still keeping municipal property taxes as low as possible.

Yeager said that he and his colleagues on the council keep tabs on state policies and their impact on the township – especially in the areas of housing, energy, the environment, transportation and taxation.

Zoller, who is the council’s liaison to the Economic Development Committee, the Environmental Commission and the Municipal Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Abuse, said he is looking forward to supporting those programs and others that will enhance the quality of life for residents.
