Mayor, 6 Council Seats Up For Election In Stafford This Year
Here's who has filed to run in the June primary in Stafford.
STAFFORD, NJ — This fall, Stafford voters will head to the polls to select a mayor and all six council seats. But before that, the primary is set for June 4.
The primary will be uncontested. Robert Henken, who was appointed mayor following the departure of Greg Myhre who joined the General Assembly, will seek a full term as mayor. He will be challenged by Democrat Joseph M. Mangino, previously vice president of the Stafford Township Board of Education. He also ran against Myhre in the 2018 mayoral election.
The Township Council will see new faces no matter what: Councilmen Paul Krier and Thomas Steadman appear to not be seeking re-election. Instead, running are Christopher DarConte (a current member of the township zoning board) and Sergio Fossa.
