ROBBINSVILLE, NJ (MERCER)–Robbinsville Township Councilman Mike Cipriano has informed Mayor Dave Fried and his fellow members on the governing body of his intention to resign from the Township Council, effective December 31, 2023.
Mr. Cipriano, a retired Cranbury Township police officer first elected on November 7, 2017, is relocating to South Jersey to be closer to family and to pursue other opportunities. He was selected as Council President during the January 7, 2021, reorganization meeting after serving as Vice President in 2020.
“This was not an easy decision,” he said. “I want to thank my fellow council members and Mayor Dave Fried, as well as all our Township employees, for their amazing work during my time on Council. It was truly an honor serving the public and working alongside so many dedicated public servants.”
Born in Trenton, Mr. Cipriano is a graduate of the Camden County Corrections Academy and the Trenton Police Academy. He was a 20-year resident of Robbinsville Township upon being elected in 2017. He was re-elected by voters to a second four-year term in 2021, and currently serves as Council liaison to the C.A.R.E. program, as well as the Plan Endorsement Citizen’s Advisory Committee.
“On behalf of my staff, I want to thank Mike for his service to the Township of Robbinsville, as well his service as a police officer, for two decades,” Mayor Fried said. “Mike’s enthusiasm, positivity, and dedication to the town where he chose to raise his family was infectious. Councilman Cipriano will be sorely missed, and we wish him, Justine and their children nothing but success, good health and happiness.”
