WINSLOW TOWNSHIP REPUBLICAN CLUB

Message from Chris Williams:

​

Experience. Service. Accountability. Residents First.

For more than 26 years, I have called Winslow Township home. Before seeking elected office, I dedicated more than 30 years to public service as an EMS leader, serving the people of Camden County and South Jersey when they needed help the most.

​

I understand what leadership means. It means showing up, making difficult decisions, taking responsibility, and putting people first.

​

Now, I am running for Township Committeeman because I believe Winslow Township needs a stronger voice for its residents and a renewed commitment to responsible, accountable government.

​

A RECORD OF SERVICE
My career in emergency services gave me decades of experience managing people, resources, and major emergencies.

​

I served as a Supervisor with City of Camden EMS from 1986–2015 and as Assistant Director of Gloucester Township EMS from 2016–2018. My training includes extensive emergency-management and incident-command education, including advanced medical and emergency-response training through TEEX at Texas A&M University.

​

I have responded to major emergencies, including an seven-day deployment to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina through Operation LEAD.

​

My service has been recognized with the City of Camden Distinguished Service Award, City of Camden Heroism Award, and recognition from the New Jersey State Police for my Hurricane Katrina deployment.

​

I have spent my career serving others. I am ready to bring that same commitment to Winslow Township government.

​

WHY I AM RUNNING
Residents deserve a Township Committee that listens before it acts and puts the interests of residents and taxpayers ahead of political interests.

​

I am concerned about the direction of our township and the decisions being made by longtime incumbent Flamini, who has served on the Township Committee since 2002 and the Planning Board since 2009.

​

After more than two decades in township government, residents deserve to ask whether our community is moving in the right direction.

​

DEVELOPMENT & TAX ABATEMENTS
Winslow Township is growing rapidly, but growth must be responsible.

​

On September 27, 2022, Flamini voted to approve a redevelopment plan involving Block 601, Lots 1.03, 2, 3, and 4, paving the way for a 264-unit residential development and eligibility for tax-abatement/PILOT incentives.

​

Flamini also voted for a 30-year tax abatement/PILOT for Mi-Place at Brightmoor.

​

I believe residents deserve transparency about these agreements and a careful examination of their long-term impact on taxpayers, schools, roads, public safety, and municipal services.

​

I will stand against excessive development and unnecessary long-term tax abatements that can place additional burdens on the residents who already call Winslow home.

​

LISTENING TO RESIDENTS
Government should not make residents feel like their voices don't matter.

​

I will encourage meaningful community input, open discussion, and greater transparency. Residents deserve to know how and why decisions are being made—and they deserve elected officials who will listen.

​

PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY
Our township must remain a safe place to live and raise a family.

​

I will stand with the men and women of Winslow Township Police, Fire, and EMS, and I will support policies that strengthen public safety and emergency services.

​

My professional life has taught me firsthand that first responders need the resources, support, and leadership necessary to protect our community.

​

FIXING OUR ROADS & INFRASTRUCTURE
Residents pay their taxes and deserve basic services in return.

​

I will advocate for responsible investment in our roads, infrastructure, utilities, and municipal services. Our community cannot continue to approve growth without ensuring that our infrastructure can handle it.

​

SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOLS
Our children deserve every opportunity to succeed.

​

I will encourage stronger communication and cooperation between township government, residents, parents, and our school district so that the needs of our students and families remain a priority.

​

PROTECTING OUR FARMS & OPEN SPACE
Winslow Township has a unique character that must be protected.

​

Our remaining farms and farmland are part of our community's heritage and identity. I will support responsible planning that preserves these important resources for future generations.

​

PROTECTING TAXPAYERS
Taxpayers deserve accountability.

​

On January 21, 2025, Flamini voted for O-2025-001, which imposed fees on nonprofits using township buildings, including annual and event-based charges.

 

And on February 10, 2026, Flamini voted against a resolution opposing the proposed multi-county jail in Winslow Township.

​

These decisions deserve public discussion and accountability.

​

I believe our elected officials should explain their votes to the people they represent—not simply expect residents to accept them.

​

MY COMMITMENT TO WINSLOW

• If elected, I will work every day to put RESIDENTS FIRST.

• Listen to residents and encourage meaningful community input.

• Fight overdevelopment that strains roads, schools, infrastructure, and public services.

• Fix our roads through responsible planning and investment.

• Support our schools and stronger communication with families and the community.

• Stand with first responders and ensure they have the support they need.

• Protect taxpayers from unnecessary spending and questionable long-term tax arrangements.

• Protect our farms and open space for future generations.

• Demand transparency and accountability from township government.

• Put residents—not special interests—at the center of every decision.

IT'S TIME FOR A STRONGER VOICE
I am not a career politician. I am a longtime Winslow Township resident, a senior citizen, a retired EMS leader, and a community member who has spent decades serving others.

 

I am running because I believe Winslow Township deserves leadership that listens, leadership that serves, and leadership that puts residents first.

​

Together, we can protect the character of our community, manage growth responsibly, support our first responders, protect our taxpayers, and build a stronger future for Winslow Township.
