He has worked at Ernst and Young in information technology strategy since 2008. <br /> He has volunteered as the chief information officer with Bat for the Cure, a prostate cancer charity, since 2008, has been the District Three Republican committeeman for Cranbury for the past year and has been involved with local organizations such as the Cranbury-Plainsboro Little League and Boy Scouts of America for the past three years. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mulligan said his main concerns center around affordable housing and its impact on the township, controlling spending and ensuring public referendums for large expenditures. <br /> <br /> ”I don’t consider myself a politician,” he said. “I consider myself a conscientious taxpayer who wants to get involved and help my fellow residents.” <br /> <br /> Mr. Taylor, 35, was raised in Cranbury and moved back to the community in recent years. He has been a global benefits consultant for Aon for the past nine years. <br /> <br /> He has been a member of the National Foreign Trade Council since 1997, a member of the Young Professionals Group with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Hamilton since 2006 and has served on the Cranbury Historical and Preservation Society’s board of trustees since 2008, working with its finance committee. <br /> <br /> Mr. Taylor said his top priorities include putting any nonemergency spending over $1 million on a referendum; controlling taxes; safety issues, specifically increasing police visibility; and affordable housing obligations. <br /> <br /> ”That’s the big concern,” Mr. Taylor said. “(Council on Affordable Housing) hasn’t changed, legislators haven’t changed. The town as we know it could cease to exist.” <br /> <br /> Democratic candidate Mr. Cook, 47, has lived in Cranbury since 1966. He has worked in finance for Jim Manley Associates for the past 10 years and prior to that worked at Merrill Lynch for 13 years. <br /> <br /> He has been a member of the Cranbury Lions Club for the past 11 years, currently serving as the organization’s vice president; is on the Cranbury Historical and Preservation Society’s finance committee; and is an assistant coach with the Cranbury-Plainsboro Little League. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cook said he has a number of goals and concerns for the municipality, including regionalization, which he supports as it pertains to shared services and interlocal agreements; fiscal responsibility in dealing with the municipal budget; and the township’s looming affordable housing obligation. <br /> <br /> ”The next three years for Cranbury is going to be crucial on two fronts, regarding municipal spending and (the Council on Affordable Housing),” he said. “It’s going to make or break Cranbury.” <br /> <br /> His running mate, Mr. Johnson, is 56 and has lived in the township since 2000. He works as a writer and editor for the Bloomberg Financial Markets, where he’s been employed for the past 19 years. <br /> <br /> Mr. Johnson has been Cranbury’s Democratic Party chairman for about five years, has been active in the Cranbury Lions Club for more than four years and has served on the zoning board since 2004. <br /> <br /> If elected, Mr. Johnson said he plans to concentrate his efforts on seeing that the township’s affordable housing obligations are reasonable, fighting for the return of Regional Contribution Agreements and seeing that the municipality looks into building a free-standing library on the Wright-South property, when and if it’s needed. <br /> <br /> ”It’s an ability to shape politics and at this level of government — it’s the level of government closest to me, it’s where I live,” he said. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.centraljersey.com/articles/2009/09/26/cranbury_press/news/doc4abbf4fa27732505774600.txt" target="_blank">http://www.centraljersey.com/articles/2009/09/26/cranbury_press/news/doc4abbf4fa27732505774600.txt</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
