There are four candidates for mayor, two for the 4th Ward, six for the Board of Education. Your sample ballot will also include candidates for freeholder, state Senate and Assembly and governor, and two public questions.
Perhaps the most interest locally is in the mayor's race. Candidates are Democrat Adrian Mapp, Republican Sandy Spector and independents D. Scott Belin and Mustapha Muhammad. Plaintaker just received word late Wednesday of a campaign website for Mapp (click here), while Belin has had a website up since August. Muhammad put up a website in June and Spector's website dates back to April. Mapp has the advantage of being a public figure as councilman for the Third Ward and having run a mayoral campaign previously in 2009.
Besides checking their various websites, you can attend two upcoming candidates' forums to learn more. On Sunday, Oct. 27, the Plainfield Area NAACP will hold a forum at 5 p.m. in the Plainfield Elks Mohawk Lodge, 1357 W. Third St. The League of Women Voters of Plainfield will hold their candidate's forum at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 30 at Emerson School, 305 Emerson Ave.
This is a very important election. Plaintalker makes no endorsements, but encourages every voter to go to the polls prepared to make an informed choice. Vote on Nov. 5!
