2 Bloomfield Town Council Members Sworn In: Polynice, Gonzalez

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — Two more new faces have been added to the Bloomfield Town Council roster: Widney Polynice and Rosalee Gonzalez.

Polynice and Gonzalez were sworn in to their seats as the council’s newest members during this week’s meeting. Both have been appointed to fill vacancies created earlier this year until an election can be held:

• Polynice fills the vacancy left by former at-large councilmember Richard Rockwell
• Gonzalez steps into the 1st Ward seat previously held by Mayor Jenny Mundell before her transition to her current role

“It is an honor to welcome Councilmembers Polynice and Gonzalez to the Township Council,” Mundell said.

“They both embody the values of leadership, dedication, and service that we value so highly in Bloomfield,” the mayor added. “I look forward to working together to address our community’s priorities and build a stronger future for all residents.”

The township will host a ceremonial swearing-in on Monday, Dec. 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Bloomfield Town Hall.
