Mendham Borough mayor wins GOP primary by two votes

The New Jersey Globe reports a narrow victory for the Mendham Borough mayoral candidate, while other sources note recent violent incidents in Morris County.


A Republican primary election for Mendham Borough mayor resulted in an extremely close finish. The winner secured the position by just two votes over their opponent.

Reports indicate that sixteen voters chose between candidates James Kelly and Neil Henry, making every ballot critical in this small town race.

The tight margin has raised the possibility of a recount for other council races where four votes separated two candidates.

Separately from local elections, police have identified a Morris County woman who was stabbed to death in her home nearly a month ago.

Residents should note that while these violent incidents occurred in the broader county area, no specific details link them directly to Mendham Township or Borough.
