==Government==

===Local government===
Roosevelt is governed under the [[Borough (New Jersey)|borough]] form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.<ref>[https://njdatabook.rutgers.edu/sites/njdatabook.rutgers.edu/files/documents/inventory_of_municipal_forms_of_government_in_new_jersey.pdf ''Inventory of Municipal Forms of Government in New Jersey''], [[Rutgers University]] Center for Government Studies, July 1, 2011. Accessed June 1, 2023.</ref> The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected [[at-large]] on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.<ref name=DataBook>''2012 New Jersey Legislative District Data Book'', [[Rutgers University]] [[Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy]], March 2013, p. 135.</ref> The borough form of government used by Roosevelt is a "[[weak mayor]] / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can [[veto]] ordinances subject to an [[veto override|override]] by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.<ref>Cerra, Michael F.

Critics have accused Mr. Marko of neglecting his duty as mayor for failing to consider the eventual effect of 150 students on the town's water, sewer and road infrastructure and taxes.... Mr. Marko and other supporters of the yeshiva said they suspected that what was really driving the resistance to the yeshiva was not safety concerns but a thinly veiled prejudice.... But Arthur Shapiro, the town historian who also grew up in Roosevelt, said he sensed that it was not so much anti-Semitism as anti-Orthodox feelings."</ref>

Roosevelt is a historically Democratic jurisdiction in the state of New Jersey. Since the first presidential election after its incorporation as Jersey Homesteads, all 21 Democratic party nominees for president have carried the borough by a margin of 25 points or greater, even in the nationwide Republican landslides of [[1956 United States presidential election|1956]], [[1972 United States presidential election|1972]], and [[1984 United States presidential election|1984]] that saw New Jersey vote Republican by over 20 points, and Monmouth County vote Republican by over 30 points.

Meyner]] in 1953 and 1957, and [[Brendan Byrne]] in 1973 each breaking 90% of the vote for the party. Meyner's 1957 campaign which garnered 93.52% being the largest total won by any gubernatorial candidate in Roosevelt since the borough's incorporation. The best showing by a Republican gubernatorial nominee was the 46.13% received by [[Thomas Kean]] in 1985. In that election, Roosevelt was one of only three municipalities (along with [[Audubon Park, New Jersey|Audubon Park]], and [[Chesilhurst, New Jersey|Chesilhurst]]) in the entire state of New Jersey that supported [[Peter Shapiro (financier)|Peter Shapiro]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.njelections.org/election-results/1985-general-election-results-gov.pdf|title = New Jersey Division of Elections}}</ref>
