Eleven to Vie for Council Seats in June Primary

When Morristown voters head to the polls on June 7, they will have a wide slate of candidates to consider in primary elections.

Eleven people, including several incumbents and members of other town government offices, have thrown their hats into the ring for four open seats on the Morristown Town Council.

In Ward 1, Democrat Christopher Kehrli is running unopposed in the primary election. He will, however, have to face incumbent Independent council member Rebecca Feldman in November who, as an "unaffiliated" Independent candidate in New Jersey, is not required to run in the primary election.

In Ward 2, Democratic incumbent Raline Smith-Reid is being challenged by fellow Democrat Toshiba Foster, a current Planning Board member. Also running in Ward 2 is Republican Naveen Nadipuram.

In Ward 3, Democratic incumbent James Smith is running against two fellow Democrats, Michael Pooler and Stefan Armington, both current Planning Board members.

In Ward 4, Republican incumbent Alison Deeb is being challenged in the primary by Republican Edward France. On the Democrat side, Denis Ciklic and Jessica Pierson Williamson are both vying for a seat at the council table.
