Why I’m Running
Hi, I’m Albin Xavier. My wife, Lauren, and I have been living in Watchung since 2021
and we really fell in love with the community. I am running for Watchung Borough
Council and seek the support of my neighbors. I plan to bring my experience as an ER
Physician and Vice Chair of an Emergency Department to our Borough to make our
community more inclusive, attractive for families and business, and local government
more transparent.
