Camden Dems file lawsuit to fill vacant Cherry Hill county committee seats; Judge issues restraining order
The Camden County Democratic Committee wants a judge to fill 71 vacancies on the Cherry Hill Democratic county committee from the list of candidates who ran on the organization’s slogan after a slate of three progressives won the June 10 primary in a contest where voters checked one box in a winner-take-all election.
A South Jersey Progressive Democrats slate of Susan Druckenbrod, Rena Margulis and David Stahl – three candidates for 74 seats – defeated the 74-candidate organization slate, 5,547 to 3,350.
The organization Democrats maintain that the winning slate didn’t include enough candidates to have a quorum to organize, pointing to the party bylaws requiring 30% of the county committee to be in attendance.
“In sum and substance, they won three seats out of 74 seats,” said Assemblywoman Melinda Kane (D-Cherry Hill).
