Jigar Shah Emerges as Key Conservative Voice in Parsippany Council Race
GG News Bureau
Parsippany, New Jersy (USA), 7th June: As Parsippany heads toward its municipal elections on June 10, 2025, businessman and fiscal conservative Jigar Shah is gaining prominence as a leading candidate for the township council. Running alongside Mayor James Barberio and Councilman Frank Neglia, Shah has positioned himself as a seasoned leader with a proven record in managing multimillion-dollar budgets and protecting taxpayer dollars.
With over 40 years of experience in business and public service, Shah has held key positions on several township boards, including the Morris County Transportation Board, the Parsippany Planning Board, the Parsippany Economic Development Board, and the Parsippany Recreation Board.
His campaign stresses the urgent need for experienced, conservative leadership to prevent a return to what he and his colleagues describe as a period of fiscal mismanagement under previous administrations.
“Parsippany can’t afford to go backward,” says Shah, echoing Mayor Barberio’s sentiment about avoiding the budget deficits and increased spending seen during the tenure of the prior mayor. The campaign highlights the stark contrast between Barberio’s $23 million surplus during his previous term and the $8 million deficit left by his successor, along with Shah’s own role in cutting wasteful spending and improving government efficiency.
Shah’s supporters argue that his strong financial background and conservative values make him ideally suited to serve as a guardian of public funds, ensuring tax dollars are used wisely and transparently.
As the ballot highlights:
“Elect to Council Jigar Shah — To Protect Our Tax Dollars.”
The coordinated campaign of Barberio, Neglia, and Shah is anchored in their shared promise: no-nonsense governance, smarter spending, and a future-focused approach for Parsippany. Voters will cast their ballots on June 10, 2025, with the choice between experienced leadership or what Shah calls a risky return to the past.
