Morris County Freeholder 2015 Election: Who Won 3 Seats?

It was a hotly contested June Primary and just as spirited General Election, but Morris County has spoken, as about half of the region’s registered voters punched ballots for the Morris County Freeholder race.

It was a clean sweep by the Republican party, as the lone incumbent, John Cesaro, was re-elected, along with newcomers Christine Myers and Deborah Smith.

The trio bested the Democratic ticket of Richard Escobar, Brendan Keating, and Webster Lewin.

With 395 of 396 districts reporting, the vote totals were:

Myers: 31,138
Cesaro: 30,838
Smith: 29,660
Keating: 20,730
Escobar: 18,893
Lewin: 18,318

Some 149,708 votes were cast, according to the Morris County Clerk’s office, with an overall voter turnout of about 17.7 percent.
