Quattrone, Doran Announce Run for Re-election

Hightstown Borough council incumbents Gail Doran and Lawrence Quattrone are seeking re-election. 

Quattrone, who has lived in town for more than 50 years, is serving his thirteenth year on council and sat on the zoning board for eight years.

“This years council is young and ambitious and I would like to work with them, as well as our mayor,” Quattrone said.

He said rebuilding the police department is important to him and is committed to getting it done.

Doran, who was elected in November to fill the remaining year of an unexpired term, said the future of Borough Hall will need to be determined soon and she wants residents to be involved.

“I would like this to be done with the knowledge and consent of as many residents as care to be involved,” Doran said. “The event can't be altered, but the outcome can be positive for us if we work together.”

A teacher and a scientist, Doran said she is a skilled communicator and detailed oriented.

“The council team and the borough benefit from leaders who engage in clear long term thinking and willingness to compromise to get the governing done in the short term,” she said.

Petitions to run for the two open seats are due April 2 at 4 p.m. and the primary will be held June 5.
