Local government

Raritan Township is governed under the Township form of government with a five-member Township Committee.

At an annual reorganization meeting, the Township Committee selects one of its members to serve as Mayor and another as Deputy Mayor. The mayor presides at Township Committee meetings and votes as a member of the Committee, but has no other special powers under the township form of government law. All legislative and executive powers, including the power of appointments, are exercised by the committee as a whole.[35]

As of 2015, members of the Raritan Township Committee are Mayor Craig O'Brien (term on committee and as mayor ends December 31, 2015), Deputy Mayor Karen Gilbert (term on committee and as deputy mayor ends 2015), Richard Chen (R, 2017), Michael Mangin (2016) and Louis Reiner (R, 2017).[4][36][37]

[46][47] The Governor of New Jersey is Chris Christie (R, Mendham Township).[48] The Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey is Kim Guadagno (R, Monmouth Beach).[49]
