Ocean City Election Results 2015

It appears that at least one split district in South Jersey is now all Democrat.

Democrat incumbent Bob Andrzejczak and his running mate R. Bruce Land appear to have defeated Republican incumbent Sam Fiocchi and his running mate Jim Sauro in the First Legislative District General Assembly Race, according to unofficial results posted Tuesday night.

With all districts reporting just after 10 p.m. in Cape May, Atlantic and Cumberland counties, it appeared that Andrzejczak won 28 percent of the vote, with Land capturing 27 percent of the vote. Fiocchi won 23 percent of the vote, and Sauro appeared to have won 22 percent.

The First and Second legislative districts were among the few split districts in the state, but the Republicans hadn’t conceded the race as of 10 p.m. Tuesday night, according to NJTV.

Locally, things were a little more clear cut, with two Ocean City Board of Education Members who were appointed to fill unexpired terms running unopposed in special elections this year.

Gregory Whelan, who was appointed last year to fill the unexpired term of Peter Madden after he was elected to council, earned 1,372 votes, according to unofficial results posted on the county website Tuesday night.

Tiffany Prettyman, who was appointed to fill the seat left vacant when Ray Clark resigned earlier this year, earned 1,446 votes.

Three incumbents also ran unopposed for their full-term seats, including Board Vice President Thomas Oves Jr. and Board Members H. James Bauer and Jacqueline McAlister. Oves drew 1,649 votes, followed by Bauer with 1,401 and McAlister earning 1,391 votes.

County Clerk Rita Marie Fulginiti ran unopposed in her re-election bid for the five-year seat. She drew 12,377 votes.

Cape May County Freeholder Vice Director Leonard C. Desiderio also ran unopposed in his re-election bid for the three-year seat. He earned 11,757 votes, unofficially.
