Autumn Nonnenmacher
Freehold Borough Council Candidate
For more than two decades, I have called Freehold Borough home. It is where I have built a life rooted in service, family, education, and a deep commitment to the community I love.
My professional and volunteer service began long before I entered politics. I have spent years working in emergency management, special operations, and technical rescue, including service with the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Management, CERT, and the Neptune Special Operations Rescue Team. I have extensive training in emergency response, disaster preparedness, high-water operations, search and rescue, and incident response.
When emergencies happen, I understand what it takes to assess the situation, make decisions under pressure, work as part of a team, and put the community’s needs first.
That experience has shaped how I approach leadership. Preparedness matters. Accountability matters. When people are depending on you, you show up.
I am also an educator and the mother of four children who have grown up in the same community I am working to strengthen. All four attended Freehold Borough’s K-8 schools. My daughter continued her education at the Marine Academy of Science and Technology within the Monmouth County Vocational School District, and my youngest son attends High Technology High School. Their success is a testament to the strong foundation our district provides.
I know our schools from several perspectives: as a resident, as a parent navigating the educational system, and as a teacher who understands the importance of preparing the next generation.
My commitment to Freehold Borough is personal. For more than 20 years, I have volunteered, taught, raised my family, responded to emergencies, and served alongside people throughout our community.
I am running because Freehold Borough deserves experienced, accountable leadership that is willing to ask difficult questions, plan for the future, protect taxpayers, and deliver results.
This campaign is about service, responsibility, and the community we will leave to our children.
