The New Jersey Globe projects that Republicans now have a 5-0 majority on the Salem County Board of Commissioner after flipping the seat of retiring Democrat Lee Ware.
As of 12:41 a.m., Republicans Dan Timmerman (31%) and Cordy Taylor (29%) lead Democrats Charles Hassler (22%), a former freeholder, and Nelson Carney (18%).
The other seat was held by Republican Commissioner Scott Griscom, who also retired this year.
Democrats controlled county government as recently as 2018, but Salem County – the least populous county in the state – has veered hard towards Republicans in recent years.
