Haddonfield Republicans To Host Virtual Candidates' Forum

HADDONFIELD, NJ — A second virtual forum involving the eight candidates seeking three open seats on the Haddonfield Board of Commissioners will take place on April 22, the Haddonfield Republican Club announced.

The non-partisan forum will be held via Zoom from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Eighty Zoom spots will be available and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Commissioners Jeffrey Stephen Kasko and Colleen Bianco Bezich are running for re-election. Adam Puff, Kathryn Raiczyk, Kevin Roche, Mark Rusc, Frank Troy, and Daniel Zhang are also running for the three open seats. Mayor Neal Rochford has opted not to run for re-election.

All attending Commissioner Candidates will be asked questions concerning issues facing Haddonfield today and their plans. Susanne LaFrankie-Principato, a Haddonfield resident, media spokesperson, journalist and former reporter at ABC 6 and White House correspondent will act as emcee.

Anyone who wishes to attend can register by emailing their name to haddonfieldgop@gmail.com by noon on April 20. The club said it will delete all attendee information and email addresses when the Forum concludes.

The forum is scheduled to take place 10 days after a forum that will take place on April 12, and will be moderated by a representative from the League of Women Voters.

Voters will have the chance to vote in-person after an election that was held mostly by mail last year amid the coronavirus pandemic. See related: Haddonfield Voters To Cast Their Ballots In-Person This Spring
