WHO AM I?

BIOGRAPHY

---

My story starts off like many people’s may, I had a problem and I wanted it fixed. The first time I attended a council meeting almost 12 years ago I knew I wanted to be part of the solutions here in Roxbury Township. To be part of the solutions, I had to know how our local government worked. Now, for almost 12 years I have been volunteering my time contributing to the success of Roxbury Township. Working up to councilman takes dedication and I have been dedicated to my fellow residents for many years now. I have served on Roxbury’s Planning Board, The Master Plan Committee, The Economic Development Committee and The Recreation Advisory Committee. All along the way learning how to represent the residents of Roxbury the correct way, with their best interest in mind. 

As I continue on this journey now serving as Roxbury Township 
Ward 1 Councilman, I have continued the fight for 0% municipal tax increases. I have encouraged more road paving in Ward 1. I will work with current and new property owners for smart commercial expansion. I am determined to keep our parks and lake areas beautiful. I will continue to show the residents of Ward 1 they have a voice that will not go unheard.

I am the strong voice Roxbury’s Ward 1 needs. I have the knowledge and understanding of what is happening in Landing, Port Morris, and Ledgewood. I have lived in Ward 1 for almost half of my life and it is important to me that the residents here feel they are the priority with every decision I make. Because every decision I make also affects my own family.  

Standing beside me on this journey is my wife of 17 years Nicole and our 16 year old daughter Isabella. Nicole grew up in Netcong where her father was a council member and she understands what it takes to support the community at the highest level. Isabella has just begun her Junior year at Roxbury High School. We are so proud of her for maintaining honor roll during her entire school career. She will continue with honors courses this year in RHS and participate in a in hospital intern program run by Allied Health. As a family we regularly volunteer in our community. Old Suckasunny Day, Home for the Holidays, Rotary Club events, RHS Interact Club, or at school events, we donate our time often.

We look forward to meeting you and I look forward to continuing to serve you as Roxbury Township’s Ward 1 Councilman
Thank you 

Sincerely,

Shawn Potillo
Councilman Ward 1
Roxbury Township
