The Bordentown Township Committee has voted to appoint Aneka Miller as mayor of the township for the 2026 calendar year. This makes Miller first Black mayor in the Township’s history.

Committee members Miller and Eugene M. Fuzy were formally sworn in as mayor and deputy mayor by Rep. Herb Conaway on Jan. 3, during the township’s annual reorganization meeting.

Additional participants in the reorganization meeting included Taylor Stokes, who performed the national anthem; and Rev. Angelo S. Wildgoose, of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Plainfield, who offered the benediction and invocation.

Also during the reorganization meeting, Fuzy was sworn in to serve another three-year term on the committee. Burlington County Commissioner Randy Brolo administered the oath of office.

In addition to serving on the township committee, Miller has been involved in the community through organizations such as Building Bridges and Literacy Volunteers of America. Miller has served on the Bordentown School District Board of Education and the Bordentown Sewerage Authority Board.

“This role comes with responsibility, and I take that seriously. My focus as Mayor is on listening, making thoughtful decisions, and ensuring our Township operates with fairness, transparency, and care for every resident,” Miller said.

The Bordentown Township Committee also includes members Eric Holliday, Bill Grayson, and Kelly Lozito. Holliday served as mayor in 2025.
