BROWNLEE CLOSER TO NOMINATION

It looks like Township Committee Member Marlon Brownlee is one step closer to getting the Democratic Party nomination as no other candidates have submitted requests to receive the formal Democratic Central Committee endorsement, according to Committee Chair Ian Grodman.

Grodman said the deadline to submit names has passed and when the committee meets on Thursday to nominate its choice, no other names will be reviewed unless a name is submitted from the floor.

The deadline to file with the township to run in the primary is April 1.

The primary is set for June 4.

Brownlee's seat is the only one of the five TC seats up for election this year. He is seeking a second three-year term.
