Councilman Baxter

Kevin Baxter’s passion for community has been a guiding force throughout his life. Even before becoming a Councilman, he was deeply committed to the vitality of Ewing's neighborhoods and services.

After graduating from high school, Kevin attended Howard University. However, due to health issues related to Sickle Cell Anemia, he was compelled to return home before completing his degree. Demonstrating his dedication to education and his role as a model for youth, Kevin earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration with honors from Strayer University in the Spring of 2008.

Kevin is a staunch advocate for children, particularly those in Ewing Township. He is an enthusiastic supporter of school sports and recreational leagues and is known for inviting young achievers to Council meetings to award them Proclamations for their accomplishments.

Kevin collaborates with the local Urban League Guild to organize "The Gentleman's Ball," a formal event that honors African American high school males for their academic, athletic, and community service achievements, ensuring they receive the recognition they deserve.

In addition, Kevin has worked with Ewing High School's ASYSST program, part of the Student Based Youth Services Program. He has hosted participants at Town Hall, where the mayor and department heads explained how their offices function and collaborate to make Ewing's government effective.

Kevin is also dedicated to charitable initiatives, assisting with food drives, volunteering with Meals-on-Wheels, and participating in Shop-Rite’s "Bagging Groceries for Hunger" program. He played a significant role in establishing the bulk drop-off site, providing added convenience for Ewing residents.
