GOP Township Incumbents to be Challenged Tuesday

While Hurricane Sandy has dominated the headlines, on Tuesday, registered voters are being asked to switch their attention to who they would like to see elected both locally and naitonally.

Registered voters can head to the polls vote from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 6 in Morristown, Morris Township and Morris Plains.

There are no local races in Morristown, while two Republican incumbents in Morris Plains, Laurie Fu and Joseph Cecala Jr., are running unopposed.

In the township there are four candidates running for two available seats on the Township Committee. Republican incumbents Bruce Sisler and H. Scott Rosenbush are defending their seats against Democrats Judy Stein and Ron Goldberg—the latter of which held a seat on the committee until 2010.

Sisler and Rosenbush told Patch earlier this year before primaries that cutting taxes and maintaining services are among the most important issues in the township.

Democrat Ron Goldberg served previously on the Township Committee from 2008 through 2010, and is presently a member of the township's environmental commission and open space committee. He has said roads are becoming more crowded, as there have been more expansions of buildings recently.

A former adjunct lecturer at Columbia University and New York City Deptartment of Health and Mental Hygiene employee, Stein joined the ticket following the dropping out of previous Democrat candidate Noel Robinson.
