One possible candidate for the open Middlesex County Freeholder seat is Piscataway Councilwoman Millie Scott. If elected, she would become the first African American to serve on the Middlesex Board of Freeholders. Four-term Freeholder Camille Fernicola, who spent fifteen years as a Piscataway Councilwoman before winning countywide office, announced yesterday that she would not seek re-election. Some Middlesex insiders view this as the Piscataway seat, and say that Scott – an ally of State Senator Robert Smith – is a strong contender.
