Lacey Primary 2020: Who's On The Ballot, How To Vote

LACEY, NJ — The primary election looks different this year as the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed back the date, shuttered polls and made Tuesday's contest "primarily" vote-by-mail.

Lacey's Township Committee has one spot up for grabs, but the primary isn't contested. Incumbent Nicholas Juliano is set to represent the Republican Party, while William "Bill" Stemmle is running on the Democratic ticket.

But the congressional election has a contested primary for the 3rd District. Incumbent Andy Kim won't face a primary challenger on the Democratic side, but David Richter and Kate Gibbs are both running as Republicans. Read more: NJ 3rd District Primary Election: Who's Running, How You Can Vote
