4 Candidates Vying For 3 BOE Seats In Lawrence Twp. This November

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ – Lawrence Township voters will choose from a list of 4 new and returning candidates when they cast their ballots for the Board of Education this November.

Monday was the last day for candidates to submit their applications. And now a clearer picture has emerged as to who is running.

Incumbents Michele Bowes and Arundale Clarke are seeking reelection. Current Board President Patricia Hendricks Farmer is not seeking reelection as she will be making a run for local office. Two newcomers have thrown their hats in the ring - Diana Pasculli and Thomas J. Figueira who previously ran for a seat on the BOE.

Here’s the list of candidates along with the slogans:

• Diana Pasculli (Engage Community)
• Michele Bowes (Students First)
• Arundale “Arundel” Clarke (Students First)
• Thomas J. Figueira (Quality Education Safely)

This year's general elections will be held on Nov. 7. Patch will publish a detailed interview with each candidate in the coming days.
