Westfield Republicans Endorse Council Candidates For 2025

WESTFIELD, NJ — The Westfield Town Republican Committee (WTRC) announced its slate of candidates for the 2025 municipal elections.

Leading the ticket is Ward 3 Councilman Mike Domogala, who will run for Mayor of Westfield. He is joined by Liz Rampolla (Lentis) in Ward 1, Jason Micewicz in Ward 2, and Danny Lallis in Ward 3.

WTRC will also recruit a Ward 4 candidate who will run as an endorsed write-in for the June Primary.

"I'm running for town council because I love our town and I'm deeply invested in its future. For over a decade, I've witnessed its growth, and as a mom of two school-aged children, I'm committed to ensuring it remains the vibrant, welcoming place we all are proud to call home. This isn't just about today; it's about building a strong foundation for our children, preserving our town's unique historical character and charm, and fostering responsible growth that keeps our community thriving for generations to come," said Liz Rampolla (Lentis).

Jason Micewicz added, "Public safety must be a top priority for our town, and I will work tirelessly to ensure that our residents feel safe and secure in their neighborhoods. I intend to bring a results-driven approach to advocating for policies that hold criminals accountable and work with our partners at the state level to crack down on car thefts and home break-ins."

In the 2023 election, Republicans swept the election. Domogala for Ward 3, Todd Saunders for Ward 1, Michael Armento for Ward 2, and David Kiefer for Ward 4 won over Emily Root, Erika Vargas-Garrison, Dawn Nichol-Manning, and Scott Katz in the November 2023 election.

"Last year, voters sent a clear message that they wanted a Council that listens and leads with integrity. I am committed to continuing that mission, ensuring Westfield’s future is built on smart policies that respect both our past and our potential," said Danny Lallis.

WTRC Chairman Sam Della Fera emphasized the importance of this election, "Westfield voters made their voices heard loud and clear in 2023, rejecting the failed policies of the past and demanding leadership that puts our residents, not developers, first. This year, we are building on that momentum with an impressive slate of candidates who are ready to continue the fight for responsible development, safer streets, and a government that works for the people—not against them."
