Boe Candidates, Council Independents File

The Division of Elections in the County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi's office has released names of Plainfield Board of Education candidates and those who filed as independents to compete in November for City Council seats.

There are four seats up for election on the school board, three three-year terms and one one expired one-year term. Those who filed for the three-year seats include incumbents Keisha Edwards and Susan Phifer and challengers Jackie D. Coley, Mahogany A. Hendricks, Catherine Crittendon and Dollie S. Hamlin. Vying for the unexpired term are Delois Dameron and Frederick D. Moore Sr.

 Two city residents filed to run as independents in the November 6 general election for City Council seats. Gloria Henriques is running for the citywide at-large seat and Tom Turner is seeking the Third Ward seat. Henriques will face Democratic primary winner Rev. Tracey Brown and Republican William Amirault. Turner's opponents will be Democratic primary winner Adrian Mapp, currently the council president, and Republican Randy Bullock.

This is the first year the school board election will be held at the same time as the general election.
