Jackson Township, NJ – In an unexpected twist on the local political scene, former Jackson Township Councilman Rob Nixon has expressed his support the Republican list of Nino Borrelli, Mordy Burnstein and Guiseppi Palmeri for the upcoming council elections.

Nixon, known for his staunch anti-development stance from 2013 to 2019, emphasized the importance of electing leaders who prioritize conservative budgets, 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 city’s growth and preserve its character despite 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 shown they can stand up for what matters most to Jacksonians,”

The approval is seen as a crucial step ahead of the November election, potentially swaying voters concerned about the direction of development and budget responsibility in Jackson Township.

Their alignment with Nixon, seen as the guardian of Jackson’s traditional values, adds weight to their campaign and promises a continued fight against overdevelopment and for the interests of long-time residents.

Drew is now urging residents to vote only for her and not cast other votes for other candidates.
