General Election Showdown Set In Gloucester Twp.: What To Expect In November

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

This November, Gloucester Township ballots will feature a race for an unexpired council term. Democratic incumbent Helen Albright Troxell is set to face Republican challenger Timothy J. Pfeffer.

November's county commissioner election is set to feature three incumbents on the Democratic side: Commissioners Jeffrey L. Nash, Melinda Kane and Al Dyer. The Republican ticket of Danielle Barry, Norman C. Rebel, Jr. and Donald J. Smith is slated to oppose them.

The Associated Press called the Republican race for Teddy Liddell in New Jersey's 1st Congressional District, which includes all of Camden County. The Army veteran and attorney is set to oppose Rep. Donald Norcross, a 10-year Democratic incumbent who had no primary challengers on the ballot.

Rep. Andy Kim (D) and South Jersey entrepreneur Curtis Bashaw (R) secured New Jersey's U.S. Senate nominations, 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.
