The Livingston League of Women Voters (LWV) will conduct a debate for the candidates for the open seat on District 4 of the Essex County Commissioners (formerly known as the Board of Chosen Freeholders) on Wednesday evening, September 16, at 8 p.m. via Zoom.
District 4 includes Livingston, the Caldwells, Cedar Grove, Essex Fells, Fairfield, Millburn, Roseland, Verona, and West Orange. Incumbent Democrat Leonard M. Luciano is being challenged by Republican Adam Kraemer. Both have ties to Livingston.
The Board consists of nine members in total, four of whom are elected at-large. Running for at-large re-election are Democrats Brendan Gill, Romaine Graham, Rufus Johnson, and Patricia Sebold of Livingston, against Republican challengers Alexandra Campisi, Gynise Gotto, Monique Headen, and Bernarda Quezada.
