MOORESTOWN — The Moorestown Democrats announced that Mayor Nicole Gillespie and Councilman Quinton Law are their candidates for the 2022 town council race.

“I cannot think of two more qualified, dedicated candidates to run for re-election,” Kate Wilson, chair of the Moorestown Democrats, said in a press release.

Gillespie, who first took office in 2018 and became the township’s mayor in 2020, steered the municipality through the COVID-19 pandemic and helped keep its residents informed of the disease’s “risks and realities,” the press release said.

She has also initiated several efforts to make the township more “environmentally friendly” and improve communication between its residents and local leaders, according to the press release.

Law won a special election last November to fill a vacant seat on town council and has worked to make sure local businesses succeed and that the environment stayed clean, according to the press release.

“As a founding member of the Better Together task force, [Law] helped prioritize the concerns of residents from all walks of life and ensured that more Moorestonians than ever would have a seat at the table in the decision-making process,” the press release said.
