Know Your Government: Green Brook Civic Guide
Every election shapes our taxes, schools, roads, and services.
We’ve created short explainers to show what each local, county, and state office does—and why it matters when you vote
Why This Matters
From sidewalks and flood control to school budgets and statewide policies, every level of government has a hand in shaping daily life in Green Brook. Our town is small—but in close elections, our votes can tip the balance.
Local Government
Township Committee
Decides on local budgets, zoning, public safety, and municipal services.
School Board
Controls school budgets, curriculum, and policies affecting our children and property taxes.
County Government
Somerset County Commissioners
Oversee county-wide services: roads, health, emergency planning, and regional budgets.
State Government
New Jersey District 21 Legislature (Assembly & Senate)
Passes laws, allocates state funding, and represents Green Brook’s interests in Trenton.
Why Green Brook Matters
Our district, the New Jersey’s 21st Legislative District, is one of the most competitive districts in the state.
Local margins are slim-just, with just a few hundred votes have flipped results in past elections. When our district stays progressive, we secure better state funding for flood control, education aid, and infrastructure improvements.
If it swings conservative, those priorities are at risk. Every Green Brook vote can tip the balance in Trenton.
