The mayor of North Bergen gets another boost in his bid for re-election when he comes through with money to help a high school play that went viral pay for more performances.

The Camden County freeholder wins party support to run for mayor of Cherry Hill. The Sayreville council president loses a Democratic screening committee vote for mayor.

The Cherry Hill councilwoman wins a special election convention to replace Bill Moen on the Camden County Board of Freeholders. The two-term assemblyman is a no-show at the Burlington County GOP convention that endorsed Jean Stanfield to run against him.
