Viola elected to serve as Colts Neck mayor for 2021; Buss joins governing body
COLTS NECK – Township Committeeman Michael Viola will serve as Colts Neck’s mayor for 2021 following his election to that one-year position during the Jan. 2 reorganization meeting of the governing body.
In Colts Neck’s form of government, residents do not directly elect a mayor. Each January, the Township Committee members select one person on the governing body to serve as mayor for the year.
As the reorganization meeting began, Viola and Tara Torchia Buss were sworn in to begin serving three-year terms. Viola is starting his second term and Buss is starting her first term on the governing body.

COLTS NECK – Tara Torchia Buss is looking forward to starting her first three-year term on the Township Committee in January.
Buss and incumbent Michael Viola ran unopposed for two seats on Colts Neck’s governing body in the Nov. 3 municipal election. Viola won his second term on the committee, which will continue to have a 5-0 Republican majority in 2021.
“I want to thank all of the residents for their support and confidence,” Buss said. “I will work very hard on the Township Committee to ensure people are proud to continue their confidence and support in me throughout my term.
