Burlington County Republicans will run Florence Township Councilman Bruce Garganio and Medford Councilwoman Mary Ann O'Brien for Freeholder as the GOP seeks to retain their 3-2 majority in November. Two longtime Republican incumbents, Bill Haines and Jim Wujcik, are not seeking re-election. Republicans lost two Freeholder seats and the County Clerk office in 2008.
The GOP is also backing Westhampton Councilman Harry Adams and former Beverly Councilwoman Leah Arter for Assembly in the seventh district against incumbents Herb Conaway (D-Delanco) and Jack Conners (D-Pennsauken).
