Livingston Council Race: 3 Democrats, 3 Republicans File

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Although national politics may have gotten a little quieter (for now), there's still much happening on the local front. Three of five seats on the Livingston Township Council are up for election this year, and candidates were required to file for the primaries by the end of the day on Monday, April 4.

As of Monday afternoon, these candidates had filed:

Democrats:
Shawn Klein
Ed Meinhardt
Rosy Bagolie

Republicans:
Sejal Lakhani-Bhatt
Ruslan Milov
Michael Livi

The municipal Democratic primary will be held June 7, with the general election on Nov. 8.

A report said that Democratic Councilman Rudy Fernandez decided not to seek a fifth term on the council this year. This opened up the spot for educator Rosaura Bagolie to run, noted the New Jersey Globe.

Bagolie runs with incumbent Democrats Shawn Klein and Edward Meinhardt, who are up for re-election this year.
