Cirulli To Serve As Barnegat Mayor In 2025

BARNEGAT, NJ — Alfonso Cirulli will serve as mayor and Albert Bille will serve as deputy mayor in Barnegat for 2025, with Cirulli emphasizing an importance of bringing Christian values to the job as the country prepares for a new presidential administration.

The two were appointed to these roles at the Township Committee reorganization meeting on Jan. 1, where Committeemen Jake Townsend and Pasquale "Pat" Pipi were sworn in for their new terms. For Townsend, appointed when former Committeeman William Farmer stepped down, this will be his first full term.

"My pledge is the same today as it was six years ago" when he was first elected to the committee, Pipi said. "That it is to represent all the people of Barnegat and to do my best to live up to all your expectations in the coming year."

Cirulli thanked his fellow committeemen for their hard work and electing him as mayor. Saying that "you're only as good as the people under you," he also thanked town hall employees, members of the police department, fire department volunteers and more, along with his family.

"We also can't overlook the churches in our community, which are an integral part of the fabric that holds us together for the common good of the people," Cirulli added.

He said that the state and federal government are passing legislation that "not only violates the Constitution of the United States, but literally attacks the nuclear family structure and the principles that make this the greatest nation in the world."

Cirulli said that they are trying to "subjugate us into an anti-God new world order."

"People of faith need to run for public office at every level of the state and federal government to instate our Judeo-Christian values," he said. "If we fail, this nation will be lost. Whether or not people want to hear it, there is a sovereign God. Each and every one of us will stand before him."
