The mayor of East Hanover, New Jersey, and all four members of the township council have switched from the Democrat to the Republican Party.
In a statement, Mayor Joseph Pannullo said that the party flip in a township of 11,105 people will be the best move to represent the constituents, deriding what he called the “nastiness” on social media that further drives a wedge between voters.
Pannullo will be joined by Council President Frank DeMaio Jr, Councilwoman Carolyn Jandoli, and Councilmen Brian Brokaw Sr., and Michael Martorelli. Morris County GOP Chair Laura Marie Ali said the party welcomes the switch. Assistant Senate Minority Leader Joseph Pennacchio , whose district includes East Hanover, said all transplanted Democrats are welcome in the party.
