This is the day we have been waiting for, the First Ward will have a replacement Councilperson to fill the vacancy left by Councilman Anthony Davis and temporarily held by Rev. Staton. There were five candidates at one point but that changed when Alveria Spencer withdrew due to an unfortunate slippage of the tongue. And then there were four, school board member Manny Martinez, former Council candidates Bernard Jones and Mike Jackson as well as newcomer Veronica Ovalles. Also on the ballot is the Recreation Tax that has Homeowners furious with the Mayor and his administration. Oh yes and the Assemblymen Benji Wimberly and Shavonda Sumter plus the Freeholders are running for reelection on the Democratic ticket. There has not been much said about the Republican candidates but they are there. Seats for the school board are available and it is gonna be close
