Election Guide: Where To Vote, Who's On The Ballot In Morristown

The June Primary Election is here, and in Morristown, the ballots are very busy. With races at the local, county, and state level, a lot is riding on Tuesday’s vote.

For Trenton, Michael Patrick Carroll and Anthony M. Bucco are opposed by Democrats Richard Corcoran and Thomas Moran for the General Assembly for two open spots in the November Election.

The all-GOP Freeholder race has gained much attention, with seven candidates seeking three seats.

They include the team of John Krickus, David Scapicchio, and Deb Smith running against the trio of John Cesaro, Christine Myers, and Angelo Tedesco. Lastly, Thomas Mulligan is also running but unaffiliated with any other candidate.

Locally, however, Morristown is very competitive. The list of seven includes two incumbents and five challengers spread over four wards.

In Ward I, Democrat Christopher Russo has put his name on the ballot. That ward is currently represented by Independent Rebecca Feldman, who does not have file a petition until the day of the Primary – June 2 – to be included on the November General Election ballot.

In Ward II a changing of the guard is imminent, as Democrat Hiliari Davis Oyesanya will be opposed by Republican Sydney Williams, Jr. They’ll be fighting in November to take over for longtime councilwoman Raline Smith-Reid, who is not running for re-election.

Williams, the Pastor at Bethel AME Church, made headlines earlier this year when he said students across Morris County came to him and said they were censored in their school when discussing the police shooting incidents in Ferguson, Missouri and Staten Island, New York that occurred in 2014.

Democrat Stefan Armington, the Ward III representative, is being challenged by Democrat Timothy Jackson in the Primary Election.

Republican Allison Deeb, the Ward IV representative, will be challenged in November by Democrat Justin Davis.
