The Honorable Mayor Tony Vauss

Tony Vauss's Message

It is a privilege to serve as Irvington Mayor.

When I became Mayor, I pledged to be a passionate and conscientious spokesperson for my home, the beautiful Township of Irvington. I vowed to offer strong leadership so that our Township, and its citizens together, can create and execute a vision and action plan for Irvington’s future. I boasted about our Township’s potential to serve as a showcase of all that is right about Essex County.”

While we can easily point to my many achievements over the past three years, we cannot afford to be complacent. With sound policy ideas and detailed implementation, together we can ensure that the entire Township continues moving forward.

As ONE TEAM with ONE DREAM!
