Our Values
Education
We believe in making sure that children in the community remain a top priority, and we stand for making sure the township and the school board are equally ensuring each student has the best resources to succeed.
Sustainability
Part of what makes Woolwich a great place to live is the available green space and proximity to farmland. We support policies that protect these areas, while also encouraging common sense environmental practices.
Economy
Woolwich Township residents rely on neighboring towns North on 295, and South into Delaware for essential goods, services, and entertainment. We believe that our town should be able to provide these goods, services, and entertainment to encourage both community and economic development.
Transparent Government
New Jersey has long been a state government run by backroom deals, party bosses, and corruption taxes. We stand on having transparent processes not only for the candidates that represent us, but in making sure we hold our leaders accountable for their decisions with our contributions to local government through our tax dollars.
Community Equity
Woolwich Township has grown a lot over the last decade, including a 16.5% population increase from 2020-to-2024. Between Route 322 properties and new developments on the city plan, we want to ensure that no one is priced out of where they live, and that the community remains balanced in providing jobs as well as being a great place to raise a family.
Public Safety
We believe that matters of public safety are not just statistics thrown around at presidential elections, or just reserved for big cities. Whether it’s increasing safety measures, protecting vulnerable populations, or holding offenders accountable for their actions, we believe justice impacts all communities, no matter how small.
New Jersey Voter Registration
The 2025 election will have a tremendous impact on the state, county, and municipal levels. The Woolwich Township Democrats believe it is important that all citizens who have the right to vote, exercise that right. This year we have two seats on the Woolwich Township Committee up for election have a major impact on your community and daily life.
