Spadoro served as an Edison Township Councilman for eight years between 1981 and 1988, serving as Council President from 1987 through 1988.

From 1988 to 1991 (two terms), he served the 18th district as NJ State Assemblyman . As Assemblyman, Spadoro sponsored the New Jersey Bias Crimes Act . He became chairperson of the State Assembly Transportation Authorities, Telecommunications, and Technology Committee.

Spadoro was elected mayor of Edison Township in November, 1993, taking office on January 1, 1994.

Seeking a fourth term, he was defeated in the 2005 Democratic mayoral primary by Jun Choi . Reasons cited for Spadoro's loss include:

speculation about corrupt dealings with real estate developer Jack Morris

loss of union support due to Walmart negotiations

what was perceived as a largely negative campaign against Choi (possibly from the press Choi received during the New Jersey 101.5 controversy)

ties to disgraced Edison Committeeman Billy Kruczak
