John Cesaro

PARSIPPANY, N.J. – Morris County Freeholder John Cesaro is seeking a new term on the board.

According to the candidate’s campaign, the veteran Morris Republican politico will kick off his re-election campaign on Tuesday, April 3rd at the Zeris Inn.

“I am thankful to those who are supportive of my re-election campaign and happy they have
agreed to show that support by serving on the host committee for my re-election kickoff,”
said Cesaro. “I am looking forward to serving another three years as a
freeholder and committed to working hard to keep Morris County one of the best places to live, work and raise a family.”

Freeholder Cesaro also unveiled a formidable list of endorsing mayors from roughly half of the county’s towns 

Mayor Robert W. Alviene- Borough of Butler
Mayor Ronald F. Francioli- Township of Hanover
Mayor Russell W. Felter- Township of Jefferson
Mayor Robert W. Collins- Borough of Kinnelon
Mayor Dr. David A. Runfeldt- Borough of Lincoln Park
Mayor Guy Piserchia- Township of Long Hill
Mayor Neil J. Henry, Jr.- Borough of Mendham
Mayor Sam Morris- Township of Mine Hill
Mayor Richard D. Conklin- Township of Montville
Mayor Frank J. Druetzler- Borough of Morris Plains
Mayor Peter V. Mancuso- Township of Morris
Mayor Michael Stanzilis- Borough of Mount Arlington
Mayor Joseph Nametko- Borough of Netcong

Mayor Catherine Winterfield- Township of Pequannock
Mayor Paul M. Carelli- Borough of Riverdale

Cesaro first joined the Morris freeholder board back in June 2012; he later served as deputy director in both 2015 and 2017.

His likely opponents include Deborah Smith, a fellow incumbent, as well as John Krickus and Hank Lyon, both former freeholders. Cesaro told InsiderNJ that Smith “stabbed me in the back” by running without him.

Cesaro and Lyon both unsuccessfully sought one-of-two LD26 Assembly nominations last spring.
