EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ – East Brunswick voters will choose from a list of six candidates when they cast their ballots for the Board of Education this November.

Monday marked the deadline for school-board candidates around the state to file petitions to get on the ballot for the upcoming elections and the County finalized the list late Tuesday night. And now a clearer picture has emerged as to who is running.

Here’s the list of candidates:

• Adam Altman
• Mark Carangelo (For The Kids)
• Timothy Cummings
• Laurie Herrick
