Cumberland elects one Democrat, one Republican to freeholder board

Cumberland County Freeholder Darlene Barber

Democrats and Republicans each held their seats on the Cumberland County Board of Freeholders and Democratic County Clerk Celeste Riley survived a relatively close race to win re-election to a second term.

Republican Douglas Albrecht, a former Vineland councilman, was the top vote-getter with 12,082 votes, followed by Democratic incumbent Darlene Barber with 11,833.  She just narrowly defeated Republican Jeffrey Bordley (11,387), with Democrat Christopher Jennings (10,945) running fourth.

Riley, a former assemblywoman, defeated Republican Victoria Lods by 1,423 votes, a 53%-47% margin.

The lone Republican freeholder, Joseph Sparacio, did not seek re-election.
