Douglas A. Albrecht

Douglas Albrecht is a Republican incumbent running for his third term as a Cumberland County Commissioner. With a background in business and public service, Albrecht emphasizes fiscal responsibility and common-sense solutions to the county’s long-standing issues. A lifelong Vineland resident and small business owner, he holds degrees in Political Science, Economics, and an MBA.

Throughout his time in office, Albrecht has served on key committees and acted as liaison to the Library Board, Board of Elections, Bayshore Council, and Recreation Committee. He has helped lead a major renovation of the Cumberland County Library and has pushed for the creation of a countywide parks system. His recent work includes budget oversight on the Finance Committee and voicing concerns over state-imposed election changes and environmental regulations that he believes disproportionately affect the region.

In recent speeches, Albrecht has criticized past Democratic-led projects like the now-abandoned county jail construction, citing mismanagement and lack of contractual oversight that left taxpayers with millions in sunk costs. He’s also taken a firm stance against closing the juvenile detention center and has noted the GOP’s success in avoiding tax increases over the past two years.

Albrecht sees improving literacy, health, and household income as essential to lifting Cumberland County from its low rankings statewide, and he believes these problems require practical leadership and transparent management.
