Help Us Shine a Light on Local Government

NJ21st is dedicated to expanding its reach and bringing fact-based, independent reporting to more communities. As a nonprofit platform, we focus entirely on local government—Town Councils, Boards of Education, County, and State—ensuring residents stay informed and engaged.
We’ve had great success in Berkeley Heights, helping residents stay up to date with local governance, and we want to extend the same benefits to neighboring communities.
How You Can Contribute
We rely on informed residents and independently minded government representatives to share insights, news, and analysis about their local governments. If you’re passionate about transparency and civic engagement, we welcome your contributions!
We invite submissions from residents and representatives of:
Berkeley Heights, Bernards, Bernardsville, Chatham Borough, Chatham Township, Dunellen, Far Hills, Garwood, Green Brook, Long Hill, Middlesex, Mountainside, New Providence, Peapack-Gladstone, Springfield (Union), Summit, Warren, Watchung, and Westfield.
