FH Council Incumbents Unopposed in Primary

The two incumbents on Fair Haven Borough Council whose seats are up at the end of the year have both filed in the primary unopposed.

Johanthan Peters, 100 Park Avenue, and Rowland O. Wilhelm, 53 Linden Drive, both Republican incumbents, have filed for re-election, according to Assistant Administator Allyson Cinquegrana.

The council terms on the weak mayor, strong council Borough Council form of government in Fair Haven are for three years. The mayor's term is for four. Council members and the mayor are elected separately.

Peters, the current council president and finance and Environmental Commission liaison, who is completing his third term this year, is seeking a fourth. Wilhelm, liaison to the police department, who is completing his first three-year term this year, is seeking a second.

No Democrats filed in the primary, and no other Republicans filed either, so Peters and Wilhelm are running uncontested.

Currently sitting on the six-member council are: Eric Jaeger, Robert Marchese, Peters, Wilhelm, Susan Sorensen and Jerome Koch.
