Ocean City residents will head to the polls three times in 2018. First up are the May 8 non-partisan municipal elections. John Flood will challenge incumbent Jay Gillian in the race for the mayor’s seat. Three council members are also up for election this year, but they are running unopposed.

It’s also a mid-term election year, and the Second Congressional District is getting attention nationally after longtime Republican incumbent Frank LoBiondo announced in November he would be retiring at the end of this year. The Democratic and Republican primaries will be held June 5.

The Democratic Primary will include State. Sen. Jeff Van Drew, retired teacher Tanzie Youngblood, ex-Congressional aide Will Cunningham and Nate Kleinman.

The Republican Primary will include former State Assemblyman Sam Fiocchi, defense contractor Brian Fitzherbert, former Atlantic County Freeholder Seth Grossman, businessman Hirsch Singh, retired FBI agent Robert Turkavage.

Other candidates, including Libertarian John Ordille and independent candidate Anthony Parisi, are also running for the seat, but will not be involved in the primaries. The general elections are scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 6.
