Two open seats and Control of Burlington County

by: Jason Springer

Tue Mar 31, 2009 at 06:03:31 PM EDT



The speculation about two open seats on the Freeholder Board was confirmed yesterday:
Long-time Freeholders Bill Haines and Jim Wujcik announced during a press conference today that they would retire at the end of their terms.

Haines and Wujcik submitted a formal letter to Burlington County Republican Chairman Bill Layton.

You can view the full letter they submitted to Layton. The County Republican Committee plans to meet this Saturday to nominate candidates for freeholder and other offices. Last cycle, County Democrats picked up big wins with two freeholder seats and the clerk's office.  This year, they're looking to gain control of the board and are running Mount Holly Councilwoman Kimberly Kersey and Cinnaminson labor leader Jim Bernard:
Kersey, an in-house attorney for Manalapan-based CMX Engineers, was elected to the non-partisan Mount Holly Township Council last May. Bernard, a member of electrical union IBEW 98 in Philadelphia, ran unsuccessfully for Cinnaminson Township Committee in November.
I wrote last week about the Assembly candidates and the changing playing field of the 8th district, which makes up a large part of Burlington County.  We'll see who the Republicans put up to compete this weekend, but they don't have the State Senators or incumbent Congressman for help on the ballot anymore and now they don't have incumbent freeholders either.
