Filing Deadline Nears for B-R School Board Candidates

The deadline for candidates to file nominating petitions for the Bridgewater-Raritan Board of Education is only two weeks from today, Tuesday, March 8.  If you are thinking about running for one of the three open positions – one for Raritan and two for Bridgewater – but are not sure, click here to get more information.

There are nine members on this Board, and elections take place every year in April, on a rotating basis.  Three positions open up yearly, each one for a three-year term.  In recent years, incumbents have tended to run unchallenged.

This tendency seems to be holding; because, as of Tuesday afternoon, only the three current office holders have filed nominating positions for the seats up for grabs. 

The incumbents who have already filed are Evan D. Lerner and Arvind Mathur, for Bridgewater; and Al Smith, for Raritan.
