Dear Westville Neighbors,
November 7, 2026–First, I would like to congratulate all of our newly elected officials and wish them much success as they serve our community.
I also want to sincerely thank every resident who supported me, encouraged me, shared their concerns, and took the time to get involved throughout this election. Your support has meant more to me than you know.
Although the election is behind us, my commitment to Westville has not changed. There are three things I especially want to keep working toward.
First, flooding and flood mitigation. My goal remains to meet with the Governor of New Jersey and push for assistance with the flooding problems affecting our community. I want to pursue the involvement of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and explore long-term solutions that will help protect our residents and their properties.
Second, safety in our neighborhoods. We need to continue addressing speeding throughout Westville. Whether that means additional stop signs where appropriate, traffic-calming measures, speed humps, or other practical solutions, I want to work with our local officials and police department to explore ways to make our streets safer for our children, families, seniors, and everyone who calls Westville home.
Third, community involvement. This is something very important to me. I would love to see more residents attend council meetings, join boards and committees, volunteer, and become part of the conversations that shape our town. I want everyone to feel comfortable walking into a meeting, asking a question, sharing an idea, or offering to help. No resident should ever feel intimidated or that they don’t belong. Westville belongs to all of us, and every voice deserves to be heard and treated with dignity and respect.
Throughout this election, so many residents told me they wanted to become more involved. My hope is that we follow through together and turn those conversations into action.
We may not always agree on everything, but we can certainly work together with kindness, respect, and a common goal of making Westville a better place for everyone.
I look forward to continuing to work alongside our residents, elected officials, boards, and committees. There is still much to accomplish, and I am looking forward to being part of it.
Thank you again, Westville. My door remains open, my commitment remains strong, and my love for this community hasn’t changed.
With sincere appreciation,
Stacey Murphy
