Primary Election Day: Who's On The Ballot In Morris Township

MORRIS TOWNSHIP, NJ — The primary election in New Jersey is just a few weeks away, and residents of Morris Township will have the opportunity to have an impact on their local elections.

Two former mayors are planning to run for the Morris Township Committee. While Jeffrey Grayzel faces an uncontested Democratic primary, former Mayor and current Committee Member Peter V. Mancuso will face off against Paul Johnson on the Republican side.

Morris Township and Morris Plains residents will also have a say in the congressional elections.

A crowded Republican primary for New Jersey's 11th Congressional District will command much of the local attention in the June 7 elections. Five Republicans are vying to unseat Democrat Mikie Sherrill, who won the seat for the first time in 2018.

The Republican candidates are Tayfun Selen, Paul DeGroot, Ruth McAndrew, Alexander R. Halter and Toby Anderson. Sherrill doesn't have a primary challenger.
