In a brief address, Codella described himself as a “man of a few words,” but expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to serve the township.

“I’ve been striving to get this for a very long time. So, I’m more than grateful to have this opportunity, finally. I couldn’t get here without my mom, dad and my girlfriend. I appreciate all of you coming out, the council. I appreciate the administration of the North Brunswick Police and everyone that’s helped me out so far.

“I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to serve this community,” Codella said.
