Morris County Republican Chairwoman Laura Marie Ali praised the Board of Commissioners for its selection of John Krickus (Washington Township) as Commissioner Director and Christine Myers (Harding Township) as Deputy Director to lead the County in 2023.
“John Krickus and Christine Myers will be a terrific team providing, fiscally conservative leadership for Morris County government in 2023 and will continue to hold the line on taxes, invest in infrastructure and education, making the best run county in New Jersey even better,” said Chairwoman Ali, who added, “we are so grateful for the wonderful leadership County Commissioner Director Selen provided this year.”
Ali said that the 2023 leadership team was unanimously supported at the annual caucus. Morris County Republican leadership has been integral in making Morris the best place to live in New Jersey, with the number one county college and vocational school district as well as the safest communities in the state. Last June, major financial rating agencies Moody’s and S&P awarded their highest-possible “AAA” rating for a record 47th year to Morris County, continuing a legacy as one of the best financially-run counties in America.

Christine Myers served a term as Freeholder and was appointed to the Office of Advocacy - Small Business Administration where she reduced regulations on small businesses resulting in billions of dollars in savings. In her previous term Christine lead the development of a county strategic plan and a debt reserve policy. Commissioner elect Myers was the top vote winner on the Fall election for her second term on the board.
