Cherry Hill's Township Council Election Set To Only Feature Democratic Candidates

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Much like the primaries, Cherry Hill's Township Council election is slated to only feature Democratic candidates this November.

Four of the council's seven seats are up for election this year. Four Democrats, including three incumbents, ran in an uncontested primary.

The Republican primary was empty, and it appears that no independent candidates will appear on the ballot in the General Election, which is Nov. 4.

Primary Election Day was also the deadline for independents to file petitions for candidacy in the general. However, the Camden County Clerk's Office did not receive any petitions from unaffiliated candidates interested in running for Cherry Hill's Township Council.

The Democratic field includes three council members running for re-election: Jill Hulnick, Sangeeta Doshi and William Carter, who currently serves as council president.

Rob Connor, who has served on the Zoning Board, completes the Democratic ticket. He is running to succeed Council Member Carole Roskoph, who did not run for re-election.

Cherry Hill is a Democratic stronghold, with the party holding the mayorship and all council seats.
