South Brunswick Mayoral Primary 2022: Democratic Contest Results

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — The polls have closed as of 8 p.m. Vote totals are being tabulated in Tuesday's elections to see the results of the Democratic primary in the South Brunswick Mayoral race.

The vote tallies remain unofficial until they are certified later in June by the Middlesex County Clerk's office.

Incumbent Charlie Carley is facing a primary challenge from Arthur L. Robinson. Councilman Kenneth Bierman (D) is not facing a primary challenger.

The Republican candidates do not have primary challengers.

As of 11 p.m., June 7, with 90 percent of districts reporting:

• Charlie Carley: 1,970
• Arthur Robinson: 457
• Write-in: 2

Carley, who has been mayor since 2018, said in a Q&A with Patch that his administration has been competent as it continues to fight court-mandated overdevelopment, and works towards improving recreational infrastructure and roads.

"I have been going door-to-door and attending very many community events, as always. I am always informed and motivated by the concerns expressed by my neighbors and friends," Carley said.

Robinson said he was very concerned with flooding due to poor drainage infrastructure and poor street lighting throughout the township. "We can do better to improve safety for our residents and their property," he told Patch in a Q&A.

He also intends to ensure that all new or expanding developments have adequate traffic impact study and to ensure the Transportation Master Plan is relevant and maintained. "As mayor, I will have a seat on the planning board which will allow me to hear and process the applications that will be a benefit to my constituents," Robinson said.

Patch will update results as they become available.
