Hazlet Mayor Inducted Into Elected Officials’ Hall Of Fame

HAZLET, NJ — The Mayor of Hazlet has been inducted into the Elected Officials’ Hall of Fame by the NJ League of Municipalities.

Believed to be Hazlet’s longest-serving elected official, Mayor Michael Sachs has served as a Township Committee member for 21 years, officials said. He served seven of those years as mayor and five as deputy mayor.

On Nov. 20, Sachs was honored alongside the Hall of Fame’s 2024 induction class at a special ceremony during the Mayors’ Lunch Briefing in Atlantic City. Mayor Kevin Kane of Freehold Borough was also included in the group of inductees.

According to the NJ League of Municipalities website, induction into the Mayors’ Hall of Fame or the Elected Officials’ Hall of Fame “recognizes municipal officials who have selflessly guided their communities through the good times and troubled times with little recognition of their sacrifice.”

Their induction aims to be a “token of appreciation” that shines a light on pillars of the community and holds them up as an example of civic pride for citizens to emulate.

“I am proud to serve the citizens of Hazlet,” Sachs said in the township newsletter. “And grateful for the progress we’ve made to make our township a great place to work and raise a family.”
