General Election Showdown Set In Cinnaminson: What To Expect In November

Correction: Brian Turner ran last year for Township Committee. A previous version of this article listed an incorrect candidate in the 2023 election.

CINNAMINSON, NJ — With Tuesday's primaries in the books, it's onto General Election season. Cinnaminson residents will have choices to make from local office to the U.S. presidency.

This November, Cinnaminson will elect two candidates to the Township Committee. Voters will also decide on officeholders in federal and county politics.

Cinnaminson had uncontested primaries in the committee races this year, with two Democrats and two Republicans on the ballot. In the General Election, two Republican incumbents — Mayor Paul Conda and Committee Member Albert Segrest — will face Democratic challengers Erik Heyman-Meltzer and John K. Fiorilla.

Heyman-Meltzer and fellow Democrat Brian Turner ran in last year's committee elections. The duo fell short, garnering a combined 3,750 votes (46.6 percent) against two Republican incumbents. Committee Members Ernest McGill and Ryan Horner received a combined 4,298 votes (53.4 percent).

All five Township Committee members are Republicans. Four have held the office since 2018, while Conda began serving one year later. Committee members serve three-year terms.

Primary elections for New Jersey's 3rd Congressional District had more competition, with five Democrats and four Republicans running to succeed Rep. Andy Kim, who's running for U.S. Senate. With the Associated Press calling both NJ-3 primaries, State Assembly Member Herb Conaway (D) is set to face health administrator Rajesh Mohan (R) in November.

Kim and South Jersey entrepreneur Curtis Bashaw respectively secured the Democratic and Republican nominations in New Jersey's U.S. Senate race, according to the AP. The candidates are running to replace indicted Sen. Bob Menendez — a longtime Democrat running for re-election as an independent.

President Joe Biden (D) and former President Donald Trump (R) are the presumptive presidential nominees.

New Jersey residents will also vote for school board members in their respective communities this November. But the elections are nonpartisans and don't have primaries, so candidates have until late July to file nominating petitions.

The primary-election results remain unofficial until certified on a later date.
