Cinnaminson Committee Names Replacement For Ex-Mayor

CINNAMINSON, NJ — Cinnaminson Committee has a new member, and the township has a new mayor.

Stephanie Kravil was unanimously appointed to fill the seat vacated last month by former mayor Howard “Bud” Evans, the Burlington County Times reports. Deputy Mayor Don Brauckmann was selected by the committee to serve as mayor for the rest of the year, and Committeeman Ernest McGill was named deputy mayor.

Kravil was appointed from a list of names submitted by the Cinnaminson Municipal Republican Committee to fill the seat. Evans resigned effective June 18 after learning he wasn’t permitted to hold partisan political office by his employer, the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, according to the Cinnaminson Sun.

Evans was first elected to serve on committee in 2016. He served on committee for a year before being named mayor in January. In all, he served for a year and a half before he resigned.

Kravil will serve on committee until a special election can be held to fill the vacancy. The winner of the special election will fill the remaining year of Evans’ unexpired term.

Additionally, Republicans Albert Segrest and Paul Conda will run unopposed for two open seats on Cinnaminson Township Committee in the Nov. 6 general elections. Segrest was appointed to committee earlier this year, after John McCarthy resigned. McCarthy and Brauckmann were up for re-election this year, but Brauckmann has also opted not to run.
