MOORESTOWN, NJ — It’s just about time for New Jersey residents to elect a new governor, and there’s a lot at stake locally, as well. In addition to choosing between Deputy Gov. Kim Guadagno (R) and Democratic challenger Phil Murphy to replace outgoing Gov. Chris Christie, Moorestown residents will participate in a pair of board of education elections on Tuesday, Nov. 7. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Five candidates will run for three open, three-year seats on the Board of Education. Peter Palko is the only one of three incumbents for full-term seats that opted to run for re-election. Kameron Rabenou, Lauren Romano, Jack F. Fairchild and Tinamarie Nicolo-Dorfner are also running for the seats.
Mark Villanueva is running unopposed in a special election for the seat he was appointed to on July 20. The seat was vacated by Kathy Goldenberg, who left the board earlier this year to serve on the State Board of Education.
