Government
Local government
Haworth is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[42] The governing body is comprised of a Mayor and a Borough Council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council is comprised of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[3] The Borough form of government used by Haworth is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[43][44]
As of 2022[update], the Mayor of Haworth is Democrat Jacqueline S. "Jackie" Guenego, who was appointed to serve an unexpired term of office ending December 31, 2022.[45] Members of the Borough Council are Council President Dina Siciliano (D, 2023), Michael Bain (R, 2022), Lisa Dhamija (D, 2023; appointed to serve an unexpired term), Glenn Z. Poosikian (D, 2024), Andrew Rosenberg (R, 2022) and Heather J. Wasser (D, 2024).[4][46][47][48][49][50][51]
In February 2022, the Borough Council selected Jackie Guenego from a list of three candidates nominated by the Democratic municipal committee to serve as mayor for a term expiring in December 2022 after Tom Ference stepped down from office following heart surgery.[52][53] In March 2022, Lisa Dhamija was appointed to fill the council seat expiring in December 2023 that had been held by Jackie Guenego until she took office as mayor.[54]
