Lauren Polito Is Running for Township Comittee

Lauren Polito is a seven-year resident of Tewksbury and mother of four.  Lauren is married to John Polito. She holds a B.A. from Babson College in Wellesley, MA. Polito majored in Finance, had a concentration in Economics, and attended the MBA Institute in Paris, France. From the time she graduated in 1998 until 2009, Lauren worked in the structured finance bond market as a financial analyst.

She is a member of the Upper Raritan Watershed Association, the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, and the Tewksbury Historical Society. In addition Lauren chairs two committees and sits on a third at The Willow School where her daughter is a student.

Lauren is an accomplished athlete who finished four marathons in New York, Philadelphia, Paris and Copenhagen. Most recently Lauren completed her first triathlon. She enjoys cooking, gardening and traveling with her family. Currently she is completing her first documentary on the subject of the news media.

Polito is a fiscally conservative taxpayer who is concerned with the financial future of Tewksbury. She notes that despite the rapidly dissipating surplus, no real solutions have been forthcoming from the Township Committee. Her education and real experience in the field of finance will enable Lauren to solve the budget issue without raising taxes if the available tax dollars are used more efficiently. If elected, she pledges to not issue debt nor disturb Tewksbury’s open spaces, two methods employed by past administrations. Lauren believes that the issues facing Tewksbury have nothing to do with partisan politics and everything to do with intelligent planning and concern for our environment. Now is the time for the residents of Tewksbury to vote for the most qualified candidate.
