Government

Local government

Pohatcong Township is governed by the Faulkner Act (Small Municipality) form of government. The Faulkner Act allows municipalities to adopt a Small Municipality form of government only for municipalities with a population of under 12,000. The government consists of a Mayor and a four-member Township Council, with all positions elected at large in non-partisan elections. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. Council members serve a term of three years, which are staggered so that one or two seats come up for election each year. In May 2011 the township council submitted an ordinance to shift the non-partisan elections from May to November. The shift, which took effect in November 2012, was intended to save the municipality $8,000 a year in costs associated with conducting the election.

As of 2013, the Mayor of Pohatcong Township is James R. Kern, III, whose term of office expires on December 30, 2015. Members of the Township Council (with committee directod year listed in parentheses) are Council President Anthony S. Vangeli (Director of Public Health and Welfare; 2014), Frank Becker (Director of Administration; 2015), David Slack (Director of Public Works/Building and Grounds; 2013) and Mary Van Lieu (Director of Public Safety; 2013).

At 22 years of age when he was inaugurated on July 1, 2011, Kern became the youngest municipal executive serving in office in the State of New Jersey.

Federal, state and county representation

Pohatcong Township is located in the 7th Congressional District and is part of New Jersey's 23rd state legislative district. Prior to the 2010 Census, Pohatcong Township had been part of the 5th Congressional District, a change made by the New Jersey Redistricting Commission that took effect in January 2013, based on the results of the November 2012 general elections.

For the 118th United States Congress, New Jersey's 7th congressional district is represented by Thomas Kean Jr. (R, Westfield). New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2027) and Andy Kim (Moorestown, term ends 2031).

For the 2024-2025 session, the 23rd legislative district of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by Doug Steinhardt (R, Lopatcong Township) and in the General Assembly by John DiMaio (R, Hackettstown) and Erik Peterson (R, Franklin Township). Template:NJ Governor
