Councilmember Chantal Landman While I value hearing from you, Facebook is not a good place to discuss official matters. Please feel free to email me at [email protected].

I’m happy to connect with you in person or over the phone. Thank you,
Chantal For 16 years, my family and I have been proud to call Summit home. I’ve been deeply involved in our community, volunteering with local organizations like GRACE, Moms Helping Moms, Impact 100 Garden State, the Summit Educational Foundation, the Junior League, and Summit’s Environmental Commission projects. I’ve also had t

he joy of coaching boys’ recreational basketball. Summit is a special place, one that my husband, David, and I chose for its vibrant downtown, excellent public schools, and strong sense of community. Our sons, Lucas and Connor, have thrived here, taking full advantage of all that Summit has to offer. Professionally, I spent over 20 years at Goldman Sachs, where I held leadership roles as an HR executive, chief of staff, and ultimately as a senior executive of the consumer bank. Throughout my career, I learned that solving complex challenges requires transparency, collaboration, and diverse perspectives. I built a reputation as a leader who listens, connects people, and fosters trusted relationships. I’m proud to have mentored teams through economic cycles and industry challenges, always leading with integrity and sound judgment. I was born and raised in Maryland, the daughter of artists and small business owners who worked hard to make ends meet. From a young age, I saw firsthand how education and strong community support can open doors and create opportunities. After attending Bucknell University, I worked in the nonprofit sector before relocating to New York City. Now, I’m running for Common Council because I want to bring my leadership experience, transparency, and collaborative way of working to our city government. I believe Summit thrives when we work together to prioritize smart policies, fiscal responsibility, and an inclusive, forward-thinking vision for our city. I am eager to listen, advocate, and lead on behalf of all Summit residents. I appreciate your support and hope to earn your vote in November.

We have an open seat on Council representing Ward 1 and need to fill the seat with a mid-term replacement. A number of residents have reached out with questions; here are the answers.

FAQs on a Mid-Term Councilmember Replacement:

Q: What happens when a Councilmember resigns during their term? 🪑
A: If the resigning Councilmember was elected as the nominee of a political party, that political party presents three replacement candidates to the Council. The Council then appoints one of the nominees to fill the open seat. If the resigning Councilmember was unaffiliated with a political party, Council can appoint anyone to fill the open seat without regard to party.

Q: Are there requirements for the replacement candidate? ✅
A: Appointees must meet the standard requirements for holding municipal office:
* Must be a registered voter in Summit.
* Must be at least 18 years old.
* Must have resided in Summit for at least one year.

Q: What is the timeline for selecting a new Councilmember? 🗓️
A: Council has 30 days from the effective date of the resignation to select a new Councilmember. In this case, given the resignation effective date is May 22nd, Council will appoint a new member at the June 16th Council meeting. The newly appointed Councilmember will take office immediately.

Old clothes and threadbare sheets aren’t trash! 🗑️

Did you know you can keep clothing, household linens, stuffed animals and other textiles out of the waste stream by dropping them in the blue Helpsy bins at the transfer station? 🧸

Regardless of condition, as long as they are dry and odor-free, these items will be recycled, resold, or reused. ♻️

Summit’s waste is burned in an incinerator, which creates greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Yuck! 😶‍🌫️

Instead of incineration, all the food waste collected through Summit's food composting program goes to a facility that produces energy without the need to burn the waste. ⚡️

Food composting in Summit is easy! 😌
