After running for West Windsor Council as a write-in candidate in the November 8 election and finishing last, independent Greg Harris is going to head in a new direction — apparently out of town.
In the West Windsor Google Discussion Group Harris said 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, fewer than 300, and some of the negative aspects of the campaign for council including political signs and ads in newspapers. (Also see letter to the editor on page 3 of this issue of the News.)
“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, Harris takes some credit for the election of Maher, which prevented a sweep by the Moving Forward team.
“I accomplished my goal to keep a balanced council,” he wrote. In addition, Harris hinted that he might write a book and “share the truth” about the town’s politics one day.
