Government
Local government
Wrightstown is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, 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 consists 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.[7] The Borough form of government used by Wrightstown, the most common system used in the state, 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.[37][38]
As of 2016[update], the Mayor of Wrightstown is Republican Thomas E. Harper, whose term of office ends December 31, 2016. Members of the Wrightstown Borough Council are Council President Costic Michael "Mike" Borsavage (R, 2016), William L. Bird Jr. (R, 2017), Samuel A. Grove Jr. (D, 2018), Jeanie L. Knapp (R, 2016), Laurance R. Lownds (D, 2018) and David Scott Timberman (R, 2017).[3][6][39][40][41][42][43][44]
In July 2012, following the death of Brian Sperling in the previous month, the Borough Council selected William Bird to fill Sperling's vacancy on the council and picked Costic Michael Borsavage to take over his role as council president.[45]
Jennifer Heisler, a councilmember who resigned in October 2010, was sentenced in November 2011 to five years of probation after pleading guilty to the theft of $20,000 from Wrightstown Volunteer Fire Company, of which she had been the treasurer.[46]

For the 118th United States Congress, New Jersey's 3rd congressional district is represented by Andy Kim (D, Moorestown).[51] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2027)[52] and George Helmy (Mountain Lakes, term ends 2024), who was appointed to the seat following the resignation of Bob Menendez (Englewood Cliffs).[53][54]
