Government
Local government
Stanhope is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 of 565 municipalities statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[34] The governing body is comprised of a Mayor and a Borough Council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council is comprised of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[3] The Borough form of government used by Stanhope is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[35][36]
As of 2020, the Mayor of Stanhope Borough is Republican Patricia Zdichocki, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Thomas J. Romano (R, 2020), Raymond Cipollini (R, 2022), Diana M. Kuncken (R, 2022), Anthony Riccardi (D, 2020; elected to serve an unexpired term), William "Bill" Thornton (R, 2021) and Gene Wronko (R, 2021; appointed to serve an unexpired term).[4][37]
In January 2021, the Borough Council chose Gene Wronko to serve the balance of the term ending in December 2021 that was vacated by Patricia Zdichocki when she took office as mayor.[41]
In January 2018, the Borough Council selected Anthony Riccardi from a list of three candidates nominated by the Democratic municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that had been held by Michael A. Depew until he left office because of health issues.[42] Ricciardi served on an interim basis until the November 2018 general election, when he was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[39]
Federal, state and county representation
Stanhope is located in the 11th Congressional District[43] and is part of New Jersey's 24th state legislative district.[11][44][45]

Sussex County is governed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders whose five members are elected at-large in partisan elections on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year. At an annual reorganization meeting held in the beginning of January, the board selects a Freeholder Director and Deputy Director from among its members, with day-to-day supervision of the operation of the county delegated to a County Administrator.[52] As of 2014, Sussex County's Freeholders are Freeholder Director Richard Vohden (R, Green Township, 2016),[53] Deputy Director Dennis J. Mudrick (R, Sparta Township, 2015),[54] Phillip R. Crabb (R, Franklin, 2014),[55] George Graham (R, Stanhope, 2016)[56] and Gail Phoebus (R, Andover Township, 2015).[57][52] Graham was chosen in April 2013 to fill the seat vacated by Parker Space, who had been chosen to fill a vacancy in the New Jersey General Assembly.[58] Constitutional officers elected on a countywide basis are County Clerk Jeff Parrott (R, 2016),[59] Sheriff Michael F. Strada (R, 2016)[60] and Surrogate Gary R. Chiusano (R, filling the vacancy after the resignation of Nancy Fitzgibbons).[61][58] The County Administrator is John Eskilson.[62][63]
