PARAMUS, NJ — Mayor Christopher DiPiazza has officially kicked off his campaign for a second four-year term, setting the stage for the 2027 mayoral election.
Citing a record of fiscal discipline and aggressive opposition to state-mandated over-development, DiPiazza is asking residents for four more years to continue what he describes as “tremendous progress” for the Borough of Paramus.
A Record of Low Taxes and Local Advocacy
At the heart of DiPiazza’s re-election platform is a claim that will resonate with any New Jersey homeowner: fiscal responsibility. “Over the last four years, we’ve invested in our parks, our emergency services, our infrastructure, and our library,” DiPiazza stated. “And we’ve done all this with the lowest tax rate in 10 years.”
Beyond the budget, DiPiazza has positioned himself as a vocal defender of Paramus’s local autonomy against mandates originating in Trenton. Key pillars of his first term include:
-
Fighting Over-Development: Opposing high-density housing projects that threaten the suburban character of the borough.
-
Infrastructure Investment: Prioritizing road repairs and recreational facility upgrades.
-
Public Safety Support: Ensuring Paramus police, fire, and EMS units have the resources needed to remain top-tier in Bergen County.
“A Town of Hard-Working People”
In a recent address to the community, DiPiazza emphasized his connection to the “grind and sacrifice” of Paramus families.
“Paramus is a town of hard-working people—families who show up every day to provide a better future for their loved ones,” he posted on social media. “As your mayor, I see that… and that is why we will continue to work every day to keep Paramus a premier place that you all call home.”
Timeline: The Road to 2027
-
Current Term: DiPiazza’s current term as Mayor officially ends on December 31, 2026.
-
The Goal: A second four-year term beginning January 1, 2027.
-
Experience: By the time the next election rolls around, DiPiazza will have served a total of eight years in Paramus leadership (four as Mayor and four as a Councilman).
What’s Next for Paramus?
As the campaign season begins to ramp up, the conversation is expected to focus on how Paramus balances its status as a premier retail hub with the needs of its residential neighborhoods. With DiPiazza “holding the line” against Trenton, the 2027 race will likely serve as a referendum on his “Paramus First” approach to local government.
