Moorestown Dems Declare Re-Election Victory, School Board Results Still Incoming

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Mayor Nicole Gillespie and Councilman Quinton Moore, both Democrats, declared victory Tuesday night in their re-election campaign for Moorestown Township Council.

Unofficial results show the incumbents held off Republican challengers Janice Caccuro and Tara Banasz by abut 1,100 votes each.

See more detailed results below.

Gillespie has served as mayor since 2020 and was first elected to council in 2018.

“Moorestown has come a long way in my last four years on Council,” said Gillespie. “I have said numerous times to my neighbors that being Mayor is one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever had, but it is also one of the most rewarding. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves again for my fellow Moorestonians, and delivering pragmatic, responsible solutions to the challenges we face.”

Law, a third-generation resident of Moorestown, said he was "extremely proud" to serve the township.

“My goal over the next four years is to listen to, learn from, and work hard for my neighbors here in Moorestown," said Law. "When we work together we can ensure a Moorestown that we are proud to leave to future generations.”

Voters cast their ballot for school board seats, township council, county commissioner, and congressional representative for district 3.

There is no automatic recount in New Jersey in the case of a close race.

Some results may not be known even after Tuesday night in a close race because of early voting and mail-in voting. Mail-in ballots will be counted for up to six days after Election Day if they were postmarked by November 8.

Election officials were allowed to begin opening and processing mail-in ballots as of November 3, but not to tally or report results, under a new law.
