Candidate for Mayor of Fieldsboro Censored in Local Facebook Group

FIELDSBORO, NJ — John Errigo, current Council President of Fieldsboro Borough and Democratic candidate for Mayor, has spoken out after supporters were blocked from posting in the widely followed “Fieldsboro Friends” Facebook group. Errigo alleges the censorship was politically motivated.

“This is not just about me — it’s about every resident’s right to be informed and engaged in the democratic process,” said Errigo. “Silencing a campaign in the middle of a local election undermines transparency, accountability, and the values this town was built on.”

Errigo’s supporters attempted to share updates about his campaign, community concerns, and plans for a more inclusive and responsive local government when this one supporters access to the group was suddenly revoked and all of their posts deleted. The “Fieldsboro Friends” page serves as a popular forum for local events, discussions, and updates — especially during the election season.

“I’m running on a platform of openness and respect for all residents,” Errigo added. “If political opponents feel threatened by an honest conversation, that only proves why change is needed.”

Errigo’s campaign — running under the slogan “Residents First” — has emphasized better communication, fiscal transparency, and ensuring that community voices are not only heard but valued.

The primary election for Mayor will be held on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
