Election Guide: Where To Vote, Who's On The Ballot In Chester Borough, Twp.

CHESTER, N.J. – As usual, it’s a very red June Primary Election in Chester Borough and Chester Township, with Republican races being held at the congressional, county, and local levels.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the Presidential race, either.

In Chester Township, longtime Mayor Bill Cogger is being challenged by Marcia Asdal for a spot on the November ballot. The positions comes with a three-year term.

In Chester Borough, Councilwoman Karen Ferrone is joined by Russell Goodwin on the Republican ballot. Incumbent Jennifer Cooper-Napalitano won’t seek re-election.

The June Primary Election is set for Tuesday, June 7. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. See voting locations below.

At the county level there are two major races. The first is for Sheriff, with James Gannon and John Sierchio running as Republicans, while Mark Dombrowski is the sole Democrat on the ballot. This is the first ballot current sheriff Ed Rochford will not be on in more than 20 years.

The Morris freeholder race is filled to the brim, with 12 candidates running: seven Republicans (three incumbents) and five Democrats.

They are:

• Doug Cabana (R, incumbent)
• Kathy DeFillippo (R, incumbent)

Of course, don’t forget about the Presidential Primary Election. The Republican race has been sewn up, as Donald Trump received enough delegates to be named the party’s nominee. On the Democratic side, however, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are both on the ballot seeking New Jersey’s vote.
