Baraka draws seven opponents in Newark mayoral race, none of them credible
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka appears to have a clear path to a fourth term against seven challengers, all relatively minor and many of them perennial candidates, in the May 12 non-partisan municipal election.
Baraka will face Douglas R. Davis, Tanisha Garner, Noble Milton, Sheila Montague, Debra Salters, Nasheedah Singleton, and Jhamar Youngblood.
Ninteen candidates filed to run for four at-large seats on the Newark City Council, including three incumbents: Luis Quintana, a councilman since 1994, Lawrence Crump, and Rev. Louse Scott-Roundtree. All three are running on Baraka’s slate.
The fourth incumbent, Carlos Gonzalez, is not seeking re-election.
