Elections 2011: Meet the 27th District Assembly Candidates
McKeon and Jasey (D) square off against Hagner and Holtzman (R) on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Here, the candidates present their qualifications and platforms.
Incumbents John McKeon and Mila M. Jasey will compete with Republican challengers Nicole Hagner and Lee Holtzman on Tuesday, Nov. 8 for the N.J. State Assembly seats representing the 27th District.
The race has garnered attention because the composition of District 27 shifted after recent redistricting that removed areas with majority Democratic registration, such as Newark and Orange, and added towns with greater Republican registration, such as Chatham. Towns now in the 27th District include: Caldwell, Chatham Township, East Hanover, Essex Fells, Florham Park, Hanover, Harding, Livingston, Madison, Maplewood, Millburn, Roseland, South Orange, and West Orange.
