A candidate meet-and-greet for the Democratic Party candidates for Montgomery Township Committee and two county elected offices has been set for Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Otto Kaufman Community Center at 356 Skillman Road in the Skillman section of the township.
Voters can meet Sadaf Jaffer, the Democratic Party candidate for Township Committee, as well as Shanel Robinson and Alexander Allevan, who are running for election to the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Democratic Party candidate Steve Peter, who is running for the office of Somerset County Clerk, also will be available.
The four Democrats are running against David Cheskis, the Republican Party candidate for Township Committee, and Brian Gallagher and Brian Levine, who are running for the two seats on the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Somerset County Clerk Brett Radi, also a Republican, is seeking re-election.
The Democrats’ meet-and-greet session was scheduled after the Republican Party candidates for Township Committee and the Freeholder board declined to take part in a candidate forum organized by the nonpartisan League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area. It had been scheduled for the same night.
