Neena Singh, a resident of Montgomery for 24 years — and its previous deputy mayor — was sworn in during the Montgomery Township Reorganization Meeting last Thursday. She won the election after being unanimously voted by fellow township committee members.
Outgoing Mayor Devra Keenan and committee member Patricia Taylor Todd, who was also sworn into her first term, nominated Singh for the position. Vincent Barragan, another township committee member, will be Montgomery’s first Latinx deputy mayor.
Singh said Thursday’s event was a “historic moment” for the community and New Jersey at large. She thanked committee members for their support and praised the community for “breaking barriers and showing our state what inclusive, transparent and forward-thinking governance looks like.”
