Joe Hathaway

Joe has always believed hard work and respect for others are the only path to achieving anything worthwhile. This principle has guided Joe from his days on the collegiate gridiron as a Yale University Football player, to his professional career in government and business, and into public service in Randolph, where he has served residents since joining the Township Council in May 2022 and serving as Mayor in 2025.

As Mayor of Randolph, Joe made every day count, delivering meaningful progress for families, seniors, and local businesses. He successfully negotiated the township’s fourth-round affordable housing settlement, reducing the state-mandated obligation by 92 percent while protecting schools, infrastructure, and local decision-making. Under his leadership, Randolph resurfaced 28 roads, advanced Route 10 intersection improvements with NJDOT, extended critical water mains, restored full police staffing, deployed body-worn cameras, and strengthened cybersecurity. The township also welcomed more than two dozen new businesses, invested in parks and recreation, and delivered over $1.1 million in taxpayer savings.
