NO PRIMARY CANDIDATES FILED YET, BUT THE RACE IS STILL ON

As Monday's deadline looms for Township Committee primary candidates to file their petitions to run, not one has formally entered the race, according to the Township.

But that does not mean people aren't jockeying for position.

You may recall that the Maplewood Democratic Committee weeks ago had endorsed two candidates in the June primary, incumbent Jerry Ryan and Challenger Nancy Adams. That after eight people had sought the endorsement.

Incumbent Kathy Leventhal is not running for re-election.

Meanwhile, at least one other would-be candidate has set up a Facebook page, one Greg Lembrich, whose page has been endorsed by former Mayor Fred Profeta.

Looks like it's going to be some campaign. The deadline is close of business Monday.
