2 Democratic Candidates Endorsed For Warren Township Committee

WARREN, NJ — The Warren Township Democratic Committee has chosen Christina Caracappa of
Christy Drive and Patti O’ Byrne of Roberts Road as their candidates in the November election for two three-year seats on the Warren Township Committee.

Caracappa and O’Byrne were unanimously endorsed by the Democratic Committee at their March 21 meeting.

Caracappa, a 25-year Warren resident, recently retired after an extensive career in technology. She brings a wealth of technology, data analytics, mentoring, and financial experience to the Democratic ticket. She and her husband raised two sons in town, both of whom attended Warren public schools, and have since moved on to successful collegiate and professional careers.

Caracappa says she feels that now is the time to give back to her community.

"It is our paramount responsibility to provide leadership that prioritizes transparency. Residents have the right to understand how tax breaks and development will impact our town’s future. We need to proactively attract small businesses as well as corporate partners who will add to our tax revenues. By striving for a vibrant community, where everyone is informed and every voice is heard, Warren will continue to be the best place to raise a family," said Caracappa.

O’Byrne, who currently serves as Warren Township Democratic Committee Chairwoman, is also a long-term resident, having moved to Warren 28 years ago. A homemaker, former executive at Chubb Insurance Company, and local volunteer in various organizations, O’Byrne feels her extensive management, team building, and financial planning skills will benefit Warren Township.

"There is no doubt that Warren residents are eager to see greater accountability in local government. Ms. Caracappa and I are committed to bringing the transparent, accessible leadership that our citizens deserve. We will involve residents in decisions that affect their neighborhoods and the community-at-large," said O'Byrne. "We will ensure that the Town Committee, Planning and Zoning meetings are accessible and that citizen input and engagement are encouraged and valued. We believe that collaboration and partnership, not secrecy and obfuscation, are essential for effective leadership."
