Fresh Ideas & A Track Record of Sucess

Born and raised in Delran, Tyler is truly the product of his hometown. During his youth, you could find Tyler playing AA baseball and club soccer, or fishing at Amico Island with friends after school. Perhaps instilled while earning the rank of Eagle Scout, Tyler realized early in life that he was determined to make a difference and support the greater good. His path was forged to give back to the community that had afforded him so much. 

In 2016, at the age of 19, Tyler was honored to be elected as Delran Councilman At-Large. Serving as one of the youngest Councilman in New Jersey, Tyler uses his age as an asset to bring a new perspective to the community and encourage other young people to become involved. 

Delran’s 8 Years

Tyler was elected to Delran Township Council At-Large for two four-year terms, from 2016-2024.

Tyler served as the Council President — the leader who sets the legislative agenda and tempo of government — from 2020 to 2024 after being appointed by his council colleagues each year. He previously was the Council Vice-President from 2019 to 2020.

During his term on Council, Tyler has pioneered transparency and community outreach in Delran by leading the charge to incorporate Live Streaming all council meetings, creating the Township’s first-ever Facebook page, and updating the township website with a modern focus.

In addition, Tyler was at the helm following during his term:

• Four years of zero tax increase (2020-2024), all while increasing services;
• Voted for aggressive road improvement projects;
• Voted for pedestrian safety improvements at Tenby Chase and Summer Hill parks;
• Reallocated funding to the Recreation Advisory Committee to support larger, more impactful events including the Delran Night Out (which brought the first fireworks show to Delran after a nearly 20-year hiatus) and the Winter Festival ; 
• Advocated and secured funding for the LED sign at the Municipal building for public announcements;
• Delran earned the prestigious “Tree City” designation, after rewriting and adopting the tree ordinance;
• Voted for new one-man leave collection trucks for Public Works, which reduces collection time and thus reduces the cost to the taxpayers;
• Voted for winter brine machine and application equipment to supplement snow removal, which ultimately reduces ice and makes snow removal faster;
• Advocated and voted for waiving late fees for licenses during the COVID pandemic;
• Advocated and voted for an updated new presentation and sound system in Courtroom; and
• Supported the Chicken Pilot Program with former Councilwoman Kolodi.

Tyler currently serves on the Recreation Advisory Committee, planning free events for the community. Most recently, Tyler was influential in developing and facilitating the Delran Winter Festival and Delran Night Out, which brought the first fireworks show to Delran after a nearly 20-year hiatus. These free events continue to break records, with crowds of nearly 4,000 residents celebrating their comradery with neighbors.

Accomplished Leader & Youth Advocate

He also earned the distinction of “30 Under 30 Trendsetters” by SNJ Millennials – an award honoring those who have committed to serving their communities.

Tyler is an advocate for youth in government. In an interview with the Delran Sun, Tyler argues for greater youth engagement in our nation’s issues:

For the youth that want to get involved, I would say that we are under-represented. We need our voice in the conversation. I encourage the youth to get involved, whether it’s in the council or a grassroots organization, get involved. It’s amazing what you’ll hear. Also, you can’t be scared to get involved. You have to use that fear as fuel and just jump in and make it happen.
