Pennington and Hopewell Borough councils re-elect council presidents
Council members in Pennington Borough and Hopewell Borough have re-elected each of their council presidents from 2020.
During reorganization meetings on Jan. 4, Catherine Chandler was elected council president for the Pennington Borough Council and Charles Schuyler Morehouse was also elected to serve as council president for the Hopewell Borough Council.
Pennington: After Chandler and Kennen Gross were sworn in to start their three-year terms on the borough council, Councilman Charles Marciante nominated Chandler for council president. Fellow council members went on to vote unanimously in favor of her election.
“I was very happy to be reelected to council and to once again be asked to serve as Council President, to support Mayor Joe Lawver. In 2021, we will continue to face some of challenges of 2020, as we work to serve the community with the continued restrictions of COVID-19,” Chandler said in a statement. “But there is light at the end of the tunnel with the distribution of vaccines.”
