After running for town council as a write-in candidate led to a last place finish in votes, independent Greg Harris is going to head in a new direction. Apparently for him, all roads lead out of town.
In the West Windsor Google Discussion Group Harris dropped news that he plans to leave West Windsor.
“Don’t worry about me anymore. While my children and ex-wife are here for the long haul, I will be gone by January 1st. I can’t live in this town after what I have seen and learned the last three months. If this is any indication of how people in our federal and state governments behave, then we are all doomed,” Harris wrote.
Harris also posted comments regarding the number of votes he received, estimated at 300, and some of the negative aspects of the campaign for council including political signs and ads in newspapers.
“I’d love to really know how many people attempted to vote for me. But nobody in this town really cares anyway. But they cared enough to go out kicking over my campaign signs and throwing them in the street the day before the election. And to take out humiliating ads without fact checking. I guess I scared some people,” Harris wrote.
While he publicly campaigned for the three seats on Council to go to Bryan Maher, Gary Zohn and himself, and it appears that Maher stands a good chance at getting elected, Harris hangs his hat on one likely outcome.
“I accomplished my goal to keep a balanced council,” he wrote, which will be true if the final results provide one seat for Maher and two for the West Windsor Moving Forward team.
In addition, Harris hinted that he might write a book and “share the truth” about the town’s politics.
