COURT HOUSE – Cape May County Surrogate Dean Marcolongo, who was elected to a new term in the November 2022 general election, has vacated the position to become a Superior Court judge.
Marcolongo is now a Superior Court judge in the Civil Division for Cape May County. His appointment was announced Dec. 20, the same day as Judge Daniel Kurkowski, who has been assigned to the Family Division.
According to County Administrator Kevin Lare, the surrogate position is to be filled at the next general election for the remainder of Marcolongo’s unexpired term.
Marcolongo would have begun a new, five-year term this year. Prior to a successful candidate being sworn in after an election, the governor may appoint a surrogate from the same political party as the outgoing surrogate, with the advice and consent of the New Jersey Senate.
The next elected surrogate would serve the remaining four years of the term.
