Two mayors in 44 years. It’s time for change.
I’m John J. Errigo III, Council President of Fieldsboro, NJ, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust you showed in our June 10 primary win against a 14-year incumbent.
Far too often, insider decisions are made behind closed doors, residents are sidelined, and problems persist unchanged. I’ve been called “difficult,” I prefer to think of it as refusing to accept the dysfunction that’s been allowed to continue for too long.
If elected Mayor, I pledge to lead transparently, with accountability, and always put residents first. My focus: open communication, smarter government, lower taxes, and real results for a peaceful everyday life, free from dysfunction and political games.
In this short video message, I share how proud I am of the progress we’ve made together here in Fieldsboro — the unity, and the determination that’s moving us toward a better tomorrow.
This election is about choosing leadership that looks ahead, not back, reform over dysfunction, progress over politics, and community over division.
Together, we can keep Fieldsboro moving forward — stronger, fairer, and more united than ever. I ask you to stand with me as we continue bringing transparency, accountability, and community back to our Borough. We can move forward together, not going back to the past, let’s leave the past in the past.
Our best days are still ahead. This election is about choosing reform over the past, unity over division, and progress over politics.

My Commitment Around Lower Taxes
My commitment is simple: lower taxes by cutting waste and following the tax plan I released on May 1, 2025 at https://errigoformayor.com/errigo-lower-tax-plan-fieldsboro/. I know what it feels like to be squeezed by rising costs, and I will always fight to make sure Fieldsboro is run with respect for your hard-earned money.
I learned that lesson firsthand in November 2022. Just a few months earlier, in August, I had lost my father, and my family was already going through one of the hardest times in our lives. Then, in my very first year of owning a home in Fieldsboro, the tax assessor reassessed our property and raised our taxes by nearly $4,000 on Nov 15, 2022. To make matters worse, it was retroactive for the entire year also for all of 2022. Me and Anthony had to come up with nearly $2,400 right before the holidays and then another $1,600 just weeks later in the new year. It was difficult and created a hardship, and I will never forget the burden that placed on us. Living through that experience made it clear to me that residents deserve fairness, accountability, and a Borough that does not raise taxes like that.
That’s why I fought to lower a proposed 5% tax increase to 3.5% in 2025, and why I partnered to negotiate a new White Hill Mansion lease, where the tenant on Nov 1, 2025 will pay utilities and shares maintenance costs, saving taxpayers money right away.
I didn’t grow up with privilege. I wasn’t handed land or houses. Everything I’ve built came through hard work. That’s why I’ll continue fighting for every taxpayer, finding savings through shared services, smarter spending, bulk purchases with other towns like rock salt, office supplies, equipment, and common-sense utility savings at Borough Hall.
Lower Taxes. Fairer Fieldsboro. Residents First!
True leadership means creating peace — not by ignoring problems, but by solving them the right way.
Lower taxes don’t come from luck or politics. They come from discipline and leadership, like preventing the $81,000 in sewer plant fines that cost every resident $324 in extra taxes through their higher water/sewer bills.
That $324 per resident is a tax no one voted for.
With a background in operations management, I believe in relying on professionals, empowering licensed operators who are trained to run critical systems, not political hacks who create violations and cover-ups.
We still don’t know what the 2024 sewer violations issued on June 10 have cost taxpayers, or what remediation plan this violation has produced, because insiders prefer secrecy over accountability. That’s not leadership; it’s denial.
Fieldsboro deserves transparency, trust, and steady management — not excuses.
Peace comes when we stop covering up problems and start fixing them — and when we lead with the courage to prevent them in the first place.

From our canvassing door-to-door efforts, the message is clear: Fieldsboro is ready for change, transparency, and leadership that puts residents first. Candidate A is Democrat John Errigo (blue). Candidate B is the Republican write-in (red). 21% is unknown undecided voters who have not demonstrated yet as of October 5, 2025, a commitment to either candidate. 30 days to election day, canvassing efforts tally dated Sunday, October 5, 2025.
On November 4, we’re voting to keep Fieldsboro an independent, strong Borough. I do not advocate for and will never support merging with another town. For too long, the past 44 years we were isolated without a real voice at the table. I’ve worked to change that by building relationships with leaders at every level of government so Fieldsboro is heard and supported.
This election is about more than politics, it’s about having a sewer plant that runs effectively and stays in compliance with NJ DEP standards. Since 2000, we’ve faced repeated violations, including an $81,000 fine in 2023 and an unknown fine from our June 10, 2025 NJ DEP violation letter. This has to stop. We must run our sewer plant the right way, free of violations, and protect both our residents and our future.
This election is also about listening to residents’ concerns, keeping tax rates low, and cutting waste. It means applying for grants to secure a dedicated police car for our community, pursuing outside funding for a recreation center at no cost to residents, and ensuring quarterly communication and real community involvement.
We need to face honestly the issues in our town, not ignore them or pretend everything is fine. We need accountability, effective services, and leadership that secures every opportunity for our residents. That’s what this election is all about. I would be honored to earn your vote this election.

Errigo for Mayor Timeline of Leadership & Vision
This isn’t a steppingstone for me. This isn’t about me at all. This work is not easy and I take it seriously. My campaign is about one thing: delivering results for Fieldsboro.
I believe in transparency, accountability, and setting measurable goals that we can achieve together. Since April, I’ve laid out a clear vision and real plans to move our town forward. Here’s the timeline of what we’ve built so far:
Start of Primary Campaign, Made public on April 4, 2025 with sign, website, and logo. Article published on April 15, 2025 in Tapinto.net: https://www.tapinto.net/towns/bordentown/sections/elections/articles/fieldsboro-council-president-john-errigo-announces-run-for-mayor
July 2, 2025: How to OPRA the Sewer Violations (going back to 2000).
PUBLIC SEWER VIOLATION RECORDS – HOW TO SEARCH FOR YOURSELF
In response to my OPRA request, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection confirmed that Fieldsboro’s sewer violations are public records — and have been since they were issued.
No information was withheld, and nothing was considered confidential. These violations go back as far as November 2000, and anyone can access them online in just a few steps.
Here’s how you can see them for yourself:
STEP-BY-STEP SEARCH (Takes Less Than 2 Minutes):
Click here: https://njems.nj.gov/DataMiner
Select: “Search by Site”
Click the “ID” Tab
For Program, select: Water Quality
For ID, enter: 46343
Select the radio button for “Program Interest”
Click the Green Submit button
Under “Reports,” click “Inspections by PI Timeframe”
Use Start Date: 01/01/2000 and End Date: [Today’s Date]
Click Submit to view reports and inspection history.
What You’ll Find:
• NJDEP inspections
• Violation history
• Any enforcement or compliance directives
This is your government. Your utilities. Your right to know.
I will continue to advocate for full transparency — because “Transparency is Not Optional.”
My opponent shows up on Sept 4, 2025 to run for Mayor
Since March 25, I have been out sharing my plans for Fieldsboro. This campaign is not about me; it is about serving our community and helping our town succeed as an independent and strong Borough.
From April to June 2025, and running in the primary was the time for candidates to step forward. I launched early in April, because leadership means showing up with a plan. My opponent waited until September 4 to announce, without providing details or a clear plan. That is a clear difference in approach.
As I have walked around town, residents have reminded me of the 1990s through the 2010s. Those were years when you had to ‘know somebody’ to get things approved, and when land grabs and backroom deals were part of local politics. Fieldsboro cannot afford to go back to that.
For me, leadership is about courage and transparency. You can see six months of press releases and priorities on my website. That how I measure accountability. Asking residents to ‘DM me for details’ is not leadership.
Leadership is not about late starts, nostalgia, or slogans. It is about planning ahead, being transparent, and delivering real solutions for our community.
This will be my only comment on the matter. I will not get into back and forth. My focus is on moving Fieldsboro forward and on the exciting campaign plans ahead.
On Tuesday, November 4, 2025 from 6 am to 8 pm at Fieldsboro Borough Hall
204 Washington, St. Fieldsboro, NJ 08505
Yesterday’s Meet and Greet BBQ was well-attended and full of good energy, proof that when our community comes together, great things happen. I’m deeply grateful to our sponsors, friends, neighbors, and residents who made the day such a success.
We were joined by incredible leaders from across the region, including Congressman Herb Conaway, MD; Mayor Eric Holliday of Bordentown Township; Mayor Quinton Law of Moorestown; Council candidate Ariel Piña of Beverly, NJ; and Christian Fuscarino, Executive Director of Garden State Equality. Their presence, along with so many of you, shows the strong leadership and unity building around Fieldsboro’s future.
I’m especially grateful for the support of leaders who stand with us, not just for encouragement, but for helping shine a light on the challenges Fieldsboro faces and the opportunities we have ahead. With their partnership, we can build a stronger, independent Borough that grows while protecting our identity. This campaign is about working together to fix what needs fixing, strengthen our community, and always put Residents First. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a wonderful event.
