Government[edit]

Local government[edit]

Ogdensburg is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[36] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The 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.[6] The borough form of government used by Ogdensburg 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.[37][38]

As of 2023, the mayor of Ogdensburg Borough is Republican George P. Hutnick, whose term of office ends December 31, 2026. Members of the Ogdenburg Borough Council are Council President Brenda Cowdrick (R, 2025), Nelson R. Alvarez (R, 2024), Steven Ciasullo (R, 2023; elected to serve an unexpired term), Alfonse DeMeo (R, 2023), Kenneth Poyer (R, 2024) and Caren Ruitenberg (R, 2025).[3][39][40][41][42]

In June 2019, Nelson Alvarez was appointed to fill the seat expiring in December 2021 that had been held by David Astor.[43] In the November 2019 general election, Alavarez was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[44]

In December 2019, Juan Cruz was appointed to fill the balance of the term expiring in December 2020 that had been held by Peter G. Opilla until he left office.[45]
