Farewell To The Chief

Posted March 27th 2023

Avalon Mayor Martin Pagliughi put an end to speculation that had been circulating for several months when he recently announced that he would not seek reelection as the Borough’s chief executive in the May election.

“I just decided that it was time,” Pagliughi told Seven Mile Times. “I’m tired. We’re leaving the town in a great shape and we have what I consider the right group on Borough Council to continue guiding the town.”

Pagliughi has served as Avalon’s mayor for 32 years. Aside from being the Borough’s longest-serving mayor, his legacy will be one filled with municipal accomplishments that any local government official would envy.

He will continue in his role as the emergency management director for Cape May County. Pagliughi has endorsed current council member and lifelong resident John McCorristin in his bid to be elected mayor.

Following a lengthy interview with the mayor, we’ve planned an extensive profile and review of his impressive career here in Avalon that we will run in the Memorial Day issue of Seven Mile Times.
