Michelle Winters gets an assist from the woman she replaces on Gloucester Township Council in taking her oath of office.
Gloucester Township's newest Council member was sworn in during the governing body's meeting Monday night. Michelle Winters' oath of office was administered by the woman whose seat she's taking on Township Council—Camden County Freeholder Michelle Gentek. Winters has extensive background as a volunteer in Gloucester Township, but has never held public office. She vowed to not let her inexperience in government hold her back as she completes the final 10 months of Gentek's term.

Council unanimously selected Winters, a 1985 Triton Regional High School graduate, to replace …

For those with an interest in county politics, Freeholder Director (and Collingswood resident) Louis Cappelli Jr. will deliver the annual State of the County address today at 4 p.m. in Camden City Hall.
