Neena Singh, a Montgomery resident for 24 years, was sworn in by Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman on January 4 and applauded the township for its commitment to breaking down barriers and adopting inclusive, transparent, and forward-thinking government. Neena, a former Deputy Mayor and Township Committeewoman, indicated that public safety and health are her top priorities.
Neena's dedication to public service extends beyond official roles, as seen by her active involvement with STAND Central NJ, a grassroots non-profit focused on voter engagement and empowerment. Congresswoman Watson Coleman praised Singh for being a fantastic leader who is profoundly concerned with fairness, economic development, and the well-being of all communities.
Deputy Mayor Vincent P. Barragan stated his pleasure in working with a diverse staff, while Indian-American State Senator Vin Gopal hailed Singh as a good role model for young South Asian women in New Jersey. Neena Singh's election as Mayor ushers in a new era for Montgomery Township, her leadership ushering in a more inclusive and prosperous future.
