Manville GOP Select Skirkanish and Lazzeri

Veteran Councilman Ron Skirkanish and 2024 Republican nominee Tina Lazzeri will run as the Republican Party nominees for Borough Council in 2025.

The Manville Republican Municipal Committee unanimously endorsed Skirkanish to run for his third term, along with Lazzeri to replace outgoing Councilman Joe DeVito.

Skirkanish is a retired union carpenter of over 40 years (United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners Local 254). Republican voters first selected him as their Council candidate in a 4-way primary for two seats after he (like so many Manville residents) walked away from the Democrat Party in 2022.

Lazzeri is a food professional for Aramark at Manville High School, as well as a fitness instructor and co-owner of family business Jersey Pine Tree and Landscape. She ran alongside Councilman Joe Lukac in 2024, falling 41 votes short in a 6-way race where the establishment ran third-party candidates against the Republicans.

The two Republicans filed a joint petition with the Borough Clerk's office and will appear uncontested on the June 10 Republican Primary ballot.
