Hemant Marathe is running for a seat on the West Windsor Township Council. There is no better news out there for West Windsor residents!
I have lived in West Windsor for more than 25 years and was employed by the WW-P Regional School District during the years that he was on the School Board and during his tenure as president of the School Board, and his leadership brought an approach to issues that really earned him the respect and love of those of us impacted by the decisions made during those years. Marathe’s leadership style never focused on any one group unilaterally, but rather he had a larger view of what was happening, what was wanted and needed, and what the impact of acting and not acting would be. He understood that the district’s primary function is to serve the students, no question, and he also realized that the teachers, the administrators, the community, and the tax payers were all factors that needed to be considered.
How amazing would it be for us to have a Township Council with that same comprehensive view? How amazing would it be to have Marathe’s vast knowledge added to the leadership we have already had to turbo charge what is possible for West Windsor?
I have every faith that Marathe will bring a fresh view to West Windsor and that he will look at individual issues with a new perspective, and with respect to how to bring changes that will produce sustainable, long term, positive results. We trusted Marathe with decisions involving our children and our school district for more than a decade, so why not capitalize on that leadership ability to shape our township’s future.
Hemant Marathe for West Windsor Township Council! Yes! Yes! Yes!

I am writing in support of Hemant Marathe for West Windsor town council. For the past 20 years I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Marathe. We first met because of friendships between our children, and got to know one another through various school functions. I have worked with Dr. Marathe on countless PTA events over the years, watched him participate in various community service activities, and enjoyed seeing him coach many children for the WW-P Soccer Association.
In the many years that I have known Hemant, I have always found him to be fair minded, hard working and very thoughtful in his decision-making. He is attentive and dedicated to doing what is right — truly a man of the highest integrity.
During the 12 years that Marathe held a position on the school board, I met with him many times. We discussed issues affecting our children’s education specifically, as well as ones related to the school district as a whole. Hemant was always willing to listen to any viewpoint, was considerate when making decisions, and was always dedicated to an outcome that was right for the district.
As board president Hemant was able to effectively communicate with the board, administration, and community to work toward decisions that benefited WW-P. Hemant’s style was to ask difficult but essential questions, get input from those who were affected, and then make a decision in the best interest of the community. His approach worked time and time again, and is one that would benefit the residents of West Windsor.
Hemant Marathe and the other candidates on the “Your Voice, Our Commitment” slate care deeply about our community and doing what is right. They will provide the positive change that West Windsor needs. Please vote for Hemant Marathe, Virginia Manzari, and Gerald Halloran on November 3.
