Democrats Adrian Mapp and Sharon Robinson-Briggs, mayoral primary foes in 2009, will have a rematch on June 4.
Both met the 4 p.m. primary filing deadline Monday. Mapp currently represents the Third Ward on the City Council and Robinson-Briggs is the incumbent mayor, seeking her third term. The difference in this primary contest is that Mapp has the Democratic Party line, denied to the mayor last month by Union County Democratic Party Chairman Charlotte DeFilippo.
Mapp also has a Fourth Ward running mate, incumbent Councilwoman Bridget Rivers. The mayor did not have a running mate on her "Progress for Plainfield" ticket, but should Mapp lose the primary, the mayor and Rivers will be together on the Democratic line in the Nov. 5 general election.
Republican filers are Sandy Spector for mayor and Barbara Johnson for Fourth Ward. Spector chairs the GOP city committee.
Sixty-eight Democratic City Committee seats are up this year and the Regular Democratic Organization filed a full slate. Democrats Barbara James, Eugene Dudley and Kim Montford are running off the line in their respective wards and districts. The mayor did not file a competing slate.

ReplyDeleteI guess somebody failed vocabulary back in the day..
It would be lovely if there had been some "progress" over the past eight years, but we haven't seen much!
ReplyDeleteI think it is "Progress for Sharon and her Friends".
