Holmdel Election Day 2019: Everything You Need To Know

HOLMDEL, NJ — Will longtime Holmdel Twp. Committeeman Eric Hinds be able to keep his seat Tuesday, and fight off a particularly competitive challenge from Weber/Santhana? Especially after he was censured by the Township Committee for potentially misdirecting $2.1 million in Township funds.

We'll find out once Tuesday night, Nov. 5 arrives. Polls close at 8 p.m. Look up your polling location on the New Jersey Division of Election's website. Here are the big races:

The races:

Holmdel Township Committee: Less than a month before the election, Holmdel Mayor Eric Hinds, who is seeking re-election with running mate Chiung-Yin Cheng Liu, was censured by three out of his five fellow Twp. Committee members for what some say is misappropriating $2.1 million in taxpayer money to build turf fields at the town swim club. Hinds, and his supporters, say he did nothing wrong and this all a political smear campaign. Hinds is being challenged by Independents Cathy Weber and Prakash Santhana.
