John Giovannitti, 61, the mayor-elect in Paulsboro, and Vince Giovannitti, 57, the newly reelected mayor of Gibbstown, are brothers. They are both Democrats.

According to a story published earlier this week by The Philadelphia Inquirer, John served on Paulsboro’s council for two decades and most recently was the governing body’s president. He is the assistant principal and athletic director at Paulsboro High School.

Vince also worked in the Paulsboro school district as a special education teacher and then guidance counselor before retiring in 2021 after 31 years. This will be his second term as mayor of Gibbstown.

For both brothers, the job of mayor will be a part-time position. The Gibbstown mayor’s salary is $12,314 with a three-year term. The Paulsboro mayor’s salary ranges from $7,000 to $9,100 and has a four-year term. John will be sworn in Jan. 2, one day before his younger brother is sworn in.
