Eatontown — Tiffany Miller has thrown her hat in the ring joining running mate, Lisa Wilson, on the Democratic ticket for Eatontown Council. Miller replaces Pamela Caputo, who withdrew for personal reasons.
Miller is a psychotherapist currently employed as a Crisis Clinician for a leading healthcare provider. Born and raised in Monmouth County, she has been an Eatontown resident for more than a decade.
Miller is an anti-human trafficking and animal rights activist who has devoted most of her career to supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence. She is an active member of the New Jersey Counseling Association, and has a Bachelor in Social Work and Masters Degree and Post Masters in Psychological Counseling, all from Monmouth University.
“I believe in the true concept of being a public servant and representing my community with integrity,” Miller said.
According to the Eatontown Democrats, a key component of the Wilson-Miller campaign is creating a more inclusive government that is more accessible to all Eatontown residents.

To make matters interesting, Councilman Anthony Talerico Jr. (who was elected last time as a Democrat) and newcomer Virginia East will be running on the “Town Before Party” party in Eatontown.

As a result of partnering with the Eatontown and Ocean Township School Districts the Lions club provided the 10,000th free vision screening. On Thursday in recognition as the 10,000th screening recipient, Ashton Vassor, an eighth-grade student at Eatontown’s Memorial School, was given a citation and gift card from the Lions Club.

Also given a Lions Club Certificate was Memorial School Nurse Lucy Craig, one of the first Eatontown School District nurses to collaborate with the Lions when vision screening began in 2017. She was Ashton’s school nurse at Meadowbrook School when his vision was first screened. Working in conjunction with school nurses, vision screenings are done annually by the Eatontown Lions in September and October for students in Pre-K through 8th grade. “We really appreciate your help as well as the support of the Lions. Your work and partnership with us make a difference.
