Cherry Hill Republicans Endorse 4 For 2021 Council Elections

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The Cherry Hill Republican Organization has endorsed four candidates for Cherry Hill Township Council in this year’s primary election, Chairman Jeffrey J. Land announced on Thursday.

During a special meeting Wednesday night, Land said the organization endorsed Nicole Nance of the Waterford Apartments in the Kingsway Village section of Cherry Hill. Davis S. Lodge of the Locustwood section, Rossana Parsons of the Fox Hollow development and Diane C. Carr of the Cherry Hill Estates section.

Land highlighted the nomination of three women, including an African American woman.

“I am pleased to have a slate this year that is diverse and helps fill a need for more representation from the West side of Cherry Hill,” said Land, who lives with his husband in the East side Woodcrest development. “Our CHRO committee persons will soon be distributing electronic petitions so Cherry Hill Republicans can safely be a part of the nominating process. Most will be distributed by email and the signed petitions can be returned by the voter by fax, email or in person. This will be the first municipal election where that will be possible.”

Council President David Fleisher and Councilwomen Sangeeta Doshi and Carole Roskoph are all up for re-election this year. The seat that William A. Carter III was appointed to last summer will also be up for election.

The New Jersey Primary Elections will take place on June 8, and the general election is scheduled for Nov. 2.

The deadline to file a petition to run in this year’s primaries is 4 p.m. on April 5, and they can be filed electronically pursuant to an Executive Order of Gov. Phil Murphy.
