Madison To Have Contested Dem. Primary For Borough Council

MADISON, NJ — Madison will have a contested Democratic primary for Borough Council. However, Republicans won't have any options on a candidate to represent their party.

Three Democratic candidates will run for two available Borough Council positions. Debra Coen and Eric Range will run as a ticket, while Thomas Haralampoudis will campaign on their own.

No one filed a petition by Monday's deadline to run as Republicans, according to borough officials.

Coen is running for re-election, while Council Member Astri J. Baillie has opted not to.

New Jersey's primary elections take place June 8. Independent candidates can file to get on the ballot by Aug. 30.
