Democratic Candidate Search Launched For Hillsborough Committee

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Interested in becoming more involved in the community? Thinking about running for township committee? Now is your chance. The Hillsborough Democratic Organization has launched a candidate search for the November 2020 Hillsborough Township Committee election.

There are two open seats on the Township Committee for the upcoming November election.

"If you’ve ever wanted to make a difference in our community, this is the year to run for office," Hillsborough Democratic Committee Chairman Ron Yoder said. "Our 2020 Hillsborough Township Committee candidates will run on the same ticket as the Democratic Presidential nominee, United States Senator Cory Booker, Congressman Tom Malinowski, and County candidates. Interest in this election will be unprecedented. Even if you've never considered running for office before, or have been on the fence, now is the best time to get off the sidelines and make an impact."

Democrats are hoping to claim the majority on the committee if these two open seats win the upcoming election. The possible winners would join Committeewoman Olivia Holmes to create a Democratic majority.

Interested candidates should send a resume and letter of interest to Chairman Ronald Yoder at chair@borodems.org by Feb. 15. All qualified candidates will be considered by the Hillsborough Democratic Organization Candidate Screening Committee.

For questions email chair@borodems.org or call Yoder at 908-256-0973. Follow the Hillsborough Democrats on Facebook – Hillsborough Democrats; Twitter @BoroDemsNJ; and at www.borodems.org.
