Berkeley Heights mayor Robert Woodruff won renomination in Tuesday’s Republican primary, defeating challenger Tom Maciejewski by a 61%-39% margin.
Woodruff won by 328 votes, 930 to 602. He will face Democrat Angie Devanney, the former township administrator and a prominent political operative, in the general election.
Berkeley Heights is traditionally a Republican town, although Democrat Susan Poage won a council seat there last year.
