See Leaders In Mendham Borough Council GOP Primary: Election 2024

MENDHAM, NJ — Early results from Tuesday's primary election in Mendham Borough show two current Republican council members are lagging behind challengers in the vote tally.

Republican voters in the borough had a contested primary for council, as incumbents Steven J. Andrew and Brennan Reilly faced challengers Matthew Bruin and Alexandra Henry Traut for their seats.

The Democratic Party put forward two candidates, who will appear on the ballot with the Republican winners.

The primary election’s Democratic and Republican winners will be able to run in the general election on Nov. 5, while independent candidates had until June 4 to file.

Christine Serrano Glassner, the mayor of Mendham Borough, was also among the Republicans running to unseat Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) amid his federal bribery trial.

Here are the latest election tallies for Mendham Borough council, and the uncontested Morris County surrogate and commissioner's races. All results remain unofficial until certified.
