Final report Election Season 2024
Read to get an idea of the upcoming elections here in Cumberland County.
US Senate - Curtis Bashaw is not your stereotypical Republican and Andy Kim is very party line. If you are a moderate or independent, Bashaw is definitely worth
your consideration. Mooneyham and Khalil also had well laid out agendas, they probably deserved a spot on the debate stage.
US House of Representatives - Whether you like Van Drew or not, he's a powerhouse. With Salerno having a questionable campaign, he might not be currently strong
enough to beat his opponent.
Cumberland County Commissioners - If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Cumberland County Democrats fail to make a compelling case for change, at least from where I'm sitting.
Cumberland County Clerk - Both candidates seem qualified and Riley is the incumbent, but a few potential mistakes during election season may have left her vulnerable
to her challenger, Commissioner Lods.
Millville City Commissioner - All candidates seem like good choices, but Ranello is the incumbent and last minute issues may not be enough to compel a change.
Lawrence Township Committee - Incumbent Miletta has 17 years of experience compared to his newcomer challenger Woody, but Woody makes a compelling case for change.
Vineland City Council and Mayor races - Team Fanucci is a powerhouse with no visible case for change from challenger Arroyo on the council, and a campaign mostly
based on attacks from former Mayor Romano.
Bridgeton, Fairfield, and Lawrence School boards - Extreme lack of information about these races. We need better press coverage.
Commercial Township School Board - 3 seats are open with 4 candidates. The three who communicated seem like good choices, with the only candidate Tracy Richardson
being unknown from our perspective.
Vineland School Board - There are lots of ways to look at this, and we wish all candidates had fully communicated, possibly with a candidates forum to dive in deep.
