Mayor Jonathan Busch
Described by The Metuchen Mirror as “a man on a mission,” Jonathan M. Busch was sworn-in as the 36th Mayor of the Borough of Metuchen on December 18, 2017 and was twice re-elected in 2018 and 2019.
During his time in office, Mayor Busch has worked to maintain the character and livability of the Borough. Over this period, Metuchen has consistently ranked as one of the most livable places in New Jersey. Its picturesque downtown was recently recognized for its extraordinary transformation which led to the Metuchen Downtown Alliance’s receipt of the 2023 “Great American Main Street Award,” defining it as one of the best downtowns in the nation.
Since taking office, Mayor Busch has repeatedly emphasized the importance of fiscal responsibility which was recently recognized by Moody’s Investor Service, which expressed extraordinary confidence in the Borough’s financial status by upgrading its bond rating. He has shown what smart, practical and locally-minded leadership can do for a community with big ideas.
