NJ-11: Morris Dems will hold convention on December 14, Essex Dems on December 2
Two county Democratic organizations have announced their endorsement convention schedules in the special election for Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill’s 11th congressional district: Essex County Democrats will hold their convention on December 2, and Morris County Democrats will do so on December 14.
In Essex County, the endorsement vote will be conducted via Zoom among elected district leaders who live in the 11th district. Candidates interested in seeking the endorsement must submit a letter of intent to run by 5 p.m. on November 30.
At the end of the convention, the top vote-getter will be recommended to Essex County Democratic Chair LeRoy Jones for the organization’s official endorsement. There will be no runoff, meaning that the winner could receive the endorsement with far less than 50% of the vote.
In Morris County, the convention will be conducted in-person among elected committeemembers and other local party leaders; candidates must submit their intention to screen for the endorsement by 5 p.m. today, with virtual screening interviews taking place next week.
