​Lambertville City Council President Resigns

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ — The president of Lambertville City Council has resigned.

Steve Stegman cited his need to devote his energy to family obligations. “Pressing family obligations will unfortunately not leave enough time for me to continue to perform my council duties at the level that the people of Lambertville deserve," said Stegman, according to information provided by the city.

He said he looks forward to continuing to participate in civic life as a private citizen.

Stegman had served on the council for nearly 18 years, leading efforts to preserve the historical integrity of the central business district. "He was a champion of protecting open space and the environment. As a former President of the Lambertville Chamber of Commerce, Steve brought the needed perspective of a small business owner to the Council," the city said in a statement.

“Council President Steve Stegman has been central to all we have accomplished. His dedication, hard work, intelligence and love of this City made him an outstanding Council member and a respected leader in our community," Mayor Dave Del Vecchio said.

The Lambertville Democratic Committee will meet to choose three potential replacements from which the Governing Body will select one person to complete the rest of Stegman’s term.
