NJ: Haddon Township hasn't had a contested race in 16 years and '23 will be no different

Three incumbents are running unopposed in Haddon Township, where there hasn’t been a contested race for township commissioner in sixteen years.

Four-term Mayor Randy Teague is seeking re-election with two other incumbents, James Mulroy and Ryan Linhart.

Teague was first elected in 2007 on a slate with John Foley and Paul Dougherty that prevailed in a ten-candidate field for seats on the three-member township commission. The lone incumbent to run in that election, James Broderick, Sr., was defeated by a 10-1 margin.

The 59-year-old Teague, one of just a handful of unaffiliated voters to serve as mayor in New Jersey, is just the third mayor since Haddon Township switched to the commissioner form of government in 1951.

William G. Rohrer, a Republican elected to the township committee in 1947, became the first mayor and served for 36 years, from 1951 to 1987.
