About Nathan

Nathan Rudy lives with his wife, daughter, and three rescue dogs in the Neshanic Station of Branchburg, NJ. Nathan has more than three decades of executive experience in corporate, non-profit, and government offices, including as Executive Director of Connor's House, senior media relations manager at NJ TRANSIT, and media relations manager at Lucent Technologies. Currently he is the Public Information Officer for Somerset County. 

In addition to his career, Nathan has served as a volunteer coaching softball and soccer coach, serving on the Community Development Block Grant Committee, Raritan Headwaters, St. Baldrick's Children Cancer Fund, and more. Prior to moving to Branchburg, Nathan and family lived in North Plainfield where he served eight years on the Borough Council, retiring to become CEO of the Tri-County Red Cross serving Union, Middlesex, and Somerset Counties.

Nathan had not intended to return to local office, but decided to put his hat in the ring again this year after watching the Township Committee admit that, after 15 years of consideration and discussion, they still have no strategy plan on how to block overdevelopment on the Route 28 Corridor. They instead decided to spend $28 million tax dollars on two vacant lots along Route 28, lots assessed by the town at just barely over $7M, and in the words of Committeeman Tom Young, "...do nothing. In order to do nothing, we need to acquire these properties." 

Then he considered the sexual and racial discrimination lawsuits against the police department that cost Branchburg Taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, and prevented the hiring of a police chief for more than four years. As the same time this was happening, the Township Committee selected Jim Schworn at their Mayor in 2022 despite his being named in multiple lawsuits for retaliation and created a hostile workplace at NJ TRANSIT, lawsuits that eventually cost New Jesey taxpayers more than $8 million dollars. 

Branchburg is a great place to live, and that's because of the people here. But the residents are no longer being served well after decades of the same group of people in charge. The time has come for new voices in the Township Committee, if for no other reason than to say, "Hey, maybe we should have some idea of what we want to do before we drop $28 million of a couple vacant lots?"
