Ewing Recognizes March as Women's History Month

March is Women's History Month! Ewing Township draws strength and inspiration from women who came before us, and the remarkable women working among us today. They are part of our story, and a truly balanced and inclusive history recognizes how important women have always been in American society.

'As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we recognize the countless contributions of women throughout history and in our own community, where three of our five current council members are women: Jennifer Keyes-Maloney, Kathy Wollert, and Sarah Steward. Their leadership, resilience, and achievements continue to inspire us all and shape a brighter future for Ewing.' -- Ewing Mayor Bert H. Steinmann

Recognizing Ewing Councilwoman Sarah Steward

Sarah Steward has served on the Ewing Township Council since 2013 and was re-elected in 2018 and 2022 to four-year terms. Sarah is a lifelong Ewing resident, a proud product of the Ewing Public Schools and magna cum laude graduate from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA with a double major in Government and Psychology. In 2019, Sarah received her Master’s degree in Public Administration from Rutgers University.

Sarah serves as the Chief Executive Officer at HomeFront, a non-profit agency dedicated to ending family homelessness and breaking the cycle of poverty for families in Central New Jersey. Previously, Ms. Steward served as Deputy Chief of Staff and District Director for Congressman Rush Holt. She is a cantor at Our Lady of Good Counsel church, an avid baker and runner, and enjoys singing alto in the Central Jersey Choral Society.

In her own words...

"I’m proud to live in a community that has elected a majority of women to our governing body.  I’m honored to be one of them!  I am well aware that I walk in the footsteps of countless women and men before me who have built and nurtured this community from its founding. "There might be more monuments of men than women in this country, but on this Women’s History Month, I encourage us all to consider the many significant contributions of the women who have worked to create our community: in our neighborhoods, faith communities, school associations, nonprofit organizations, and so many other places. It is only right that women are fairly represented in our local government and I’m honored to be a woman representing our Township on Council. "From time to time, young people attend council meetings. It gives me so much hope that these young people will always know a time when women have a voice in elected office. And hopefully they’ll be in my seat one day!"

Fresh off the heels of International Women’s Day, Ewing Police gave a shout out to their Female Ewing Police Officers attending the 2025 New Jersey Women in Law Enforcement Conference. Thanks for all you do for the department and the community you serve! Pictured from left, Det. Bethea, Lt. Hurley, Officer Stradling, Officer Arnold, Det.
