All of my prognostications that the April 27th School Board election for the choosing of candidates would be a quiet, uncontested event were wrong!
Since my last midday post, two other people have filed their papers: Ann Marie Mead is contesting incumbent Al Smith for his seat representing Raritan; while Elizabeth Eisinger Lande of Bridgewater has added her name to those of Lisa Giranda and Barbara Kane, all three of whom are seeking to squeeze into two Bridgewater seats now occupied by incumbents Evan Lerner and Arthur Mathur.
Except for the incumbents who presented their papers in early to mid-February to the Board Secretary, all four challengers presented their nominating petitions today, the deadline for filing.
As requested, I received a call from the office of Peter Starrs at the close of business today, confirming that these Bridgewater and Raritan residents constitute the final count of candidates for the B-R School Board.
