See Who Is On The Ballot In Morristown

MORRISTOWN, NJ —Morristown has some contested races this year, both for the mayor’s seat, and for spots on the council dais. Patch has provided an overview of who’s on the local ballot this year.

* Denotes incumbent

Mayoral Race (vote for one)

• *Tim Dougherty, Democrat: Dougherty has served as Morristown’s mayor since 2010.

“Morristown is a special place, and I am mindful every day that I have a major responsibility to ensure that Morristown continues to be the ideal town to live, to work and to raise a family, as well as to feel safe and proud to call it home,” Dougherty said in a statement earlier this year.

• Bruce Meringolo, Republican: Meringolo is a former school board member and former mayor of Long Hill who works in corporate real estate.

“I believe it’s time for fresh leadership, transparency, and accountability. The current administration is asking for 20 years in office and I believe that is too long,” Meringolo told Patch. “I love this town, and I want to make sure every resident’s voice is heard and valued. Morristown deserves a leader who listens, brings people together, and focuses on common-sense solutions.”

• Andrea Lekberg, Independent: Lekberg is a Morristown Planning Board member who owns and operates The Artist Baker in town.

“I believe the current administration is out of touch with the people of Morristown,” Lekberg said. “As a small business owner in town, I’ve heard many customers discuss frustrations with reckless development, lack of preservation, and the decrease in quality of life that comes with that. I want to be a voice for our residents and listen to their concerns.”
