InfoBill Flynn brings vast experience to the job, both in government service and as a private citizen. A successful business partner in Antonio & Flynn, he has established firm roots in his community.

As the municipal prosecutor in Union Beach, Flynn prosecuted offenders of such crimes as drunk driving and other motor vehicle violations, domestic violence, assault and larceny. Flynn was legal counsel to the Old Bridge Municipal Utilities Authority, the Sayreville Planning Board and for zoning boards in Hazlet Township and Keansburg.

Bill received a bachelor of arts degree from The College of New Jersey, and law degree from Rutgers Law School, Newark. Flynn, whose mother was the former Mary Capaccione, is a member of the Madison Township Italian-American Club, and he served as Justice of Elks Lodge 787, counselor for Moose Lodge 485, advocate for Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh, and as attorney for the Lawrence Harbor Fire Company.

Flynn served in as a township councilman when Old Bridge was still called Madison. He was mayor from 1974 to 1976 and he was elected as a 13th District assemblyman, serving six consecutive terms ending in 1986. Today, the 40-year Old Bridge resident is Democratic Municipal Chairman.

He lives with his wife, the former Elaine Czech -- who is the Middlesex County Clerk. Bill is very proud that he remains close to his four grown daughters and ten grandchildren, all of whom also reside in the township.


Flynn served as a Councilman and Mayor in Old Bridge in the early 1970's, when Old Bridge was called Madison Township, and was elected to the State Assembly in the Democratic landslide of 1973. Flynn was a fairly popular vote getter, easily defeating Republican challengers like now-Assemblyman MICHAEL ARNONE, veteran Monmouth County Freeholder THOMAS POWERS, and PETER CARTON, now the Middletown Republican Municipal Chairman. He lost his seat in the 1985 GOP landslide to Republicans JOSEPH AZZOLINA and JOANN SMITH. His wife, ELAINE FLYNN, is the Middlesex County Clerk.
