Polls will open in Washington Township on Election Day, Nov. 7, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Voters in Washington Township will have the opportunity to not only vote for the next governor in the Nov. 7 election, but will determine which of the five Board of Education candidates will fill the three open seats for full, three-year terms.
Board of Education President Ginny Murphy and board member Julie Yankanich will be running for re-election, joined by three new candidates — Dominic Ruggiero, Raymond Dinovi and Thomas Gleason, vying for seats on the Washington Township Public School District Board of Education.
In addition to the local election, residents will be voting for state and county officials.
Contending for the governor and lieutenant governor seats are Philip Murphy (D) for governor and Sheila Oliver (D) for lieutenant governor, Kim Guadagno (R) for governor and Carlos Rendo (R) for lieutenant governor, Vincent Ross for governor and April Johnson for lieutenant governor under the We The People Party, Seth Kaper-Dale for governor and Lisa Durden for lieutenant governor under the Green Party, Gina Genovese for governor under the Reduce Property Taxes Party with no candidate filed for lieutenant governor, Matthew Riccardi for governor under the Constitution Party with no candidate filed for lieutenant governor and Peter J. Rohrman for governor and Karese J. Laguerre for lieutenant governor under the Libertarian Party.
In the race for state senator, incumbent Fred Madden is running unopposed, while there are five candidates vying for two open seats in the General Assembly. General Assembly candidates include Democrat incumbents Paul Moriarty and Gabriela Mosquero, joined by newcomer Republicans Patricia Jefferson Kline, Eduardo Maldonado and William McCauley Jr. of the Represent, Not Rule Party.
Candidates running for the position of Gloucester County clerk include incumbent James Hogan (D) against Diane King (R). For county surrogate, Helene Reed (D) is running against William Gilson (R).
Six candidates are contending for three open seats on the Gloucester County Freeholder Board. Democrat incumbents Heather Simmons, Lyman Barnes and Jim Jefferson will be running for re-election against Republicans Rose Yerka, Louise Pelosi and Mary Behm.
There are also two statewide referendum questions this year. The first is, “Do you approve the ‘New Jersey Library Construction Bond Act?’” The second is, “Do you approve amending the Constitution to dedicate all moneys collected by the state relating to natural resource damages in cases of contamination of the environment?”
