The complaint against Shi, filed by Tony Depasquale on June 14, takes issue with a campaign poster published on the official Facebook page of Edison mayoral candidate Mahesh Bhagia on April 1, which stated Shi “was supporting” Bhagia. At the same time, Shi is himself the subject of a complaint filed in June by a 13-year resident of Edison, who alleges Shi violated the state code of ethics for school board members when he used “his official capacity as board president to support a political candidate” and friend.

President Jingwei “Jerry” Shi filed an ethics complaint with the state School Ethics Commission against fellow board member Biral Patel last month, alleging he compromised the school board and violated state ethics rules in an effort to get another board member to resign and withdraw from November’s election.

Little more than a week out from the general election, two members of the Edison Township Board of Education find themselves the subject of separate ethics complaints currently before the state School Ethics Commission. Edison Township Public Schools is a school district in New Jersey.
