CRANFORD, NJ - On Tuesday, Nov. 5 voters will be heading to the polls to cast their ballots in the general election. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

A quiet, uncontested primary gave way to a race for Cranford Township Committee in the November general election. Republicans Mary O'Connor and Phil Siliato are facing off against Democrats Kathleen Miller Prunty and Brian Andrews.

The Cranford Township Committee will have at least one new face on the dais in 2020 as current committeewoman Ann Doley did not file for another three-year term by the filing deadline. Two new faces should O'Connor fail to win another round on the dias.

The candidates also participated in a forum to discuss their platforms.

The Cranford Board of Education has three incumbents and three newcomers running in this year's November election, according to the Union County Clerk's Office.

The incumbents include, Nicole Sherrin Kessler of Staughton Avenue, Patrick Lynch of Denman Road and Brian McCarthy of Lawn Terrace.

Also on the ballot is Brian Lopez of Wade Avenue, Brett Dreyer of Hampton Street, and Veronica Doyle of Penn Road.

Dreyer is running with the slogan "Committed to Cranford" and Doyle has selected "Our Children First" as her slogan.
