Montclair Mayor Sean Spiller will not seek re-election to a second term.
“As I prepare to pass the baton of stewardship to the next elected leader of our community, I am more confident than ever that Montclair will continue to embody the values we hold dear,” Spiler said. “Critical work remains ahead, and I look forward to continuing to work alongside each and every one of you in service of our shared home.”
Spiller, the president of the New Jersey Education Association, the state’s largest public employee union, served eight years as a councilman before winning election as mayor in 2020.
“As Mayor, I’ve sought to achieve what I think we all want – a vibrant, diverse, safe community that supports residents of all ages and means – with great schools and services, vibrant arts and culture, good jobs and easy commutes and affordable for all,” he said. “Montclair has earned our reputation as one of the leading progressive communities in the state and the nation, but we have also quietly paved roads, replaced sewer lines, removed lead pipes, and reduced our debt by millions of dollars.”
