Current committeeman James LiaBraaten did not file for reelection; his term expires at the end of the year.

Residents will also vote on their two representatives in the New Jersey State Assembly. Sen. Anthony M. Bucco and Brian Bergen are running on the Republican side, and Lisa Bhimani and Darcy Draeger are running on the Democratic side for the 25th District seat.

The Assembly election is an unusual one. Because Bucco just vacated his Assembly seat for an appointment in the Senate he is, in effect, running for a seat he will not fill. Should Bucco be elected to the Assembly, it would fall to the Morris County Republican Committee to appoint someone to that seat.

The Senate seat is not up for re-election this year.

Current Sheriff, the Republican James M. Gannon, is running for reelection. He is being challenged by Democrat William Schivella.

Democrat Michael T. Thompson is facing off against Republican Heather Darling for the surrogate seat.

Three seats on the Board of Chosen Freeholders are up for election. Republicans Douglas Cabana, Thomas Mastrangelo and Kathy DeFillippo are running against Democrats Cara Parmigiani, Cary Amaro, and David Timpanaro.
