Two County Commissioner Candidates Take on Herald’s Questions

Patricia O’Connor, left, and Will Morey are each seeking seats on the Cape May County Board of County Commissioners.

By Christopher South

The Herald editorial board wished to get feedback on current county issues from all four candidates for the five-member Cape May County Board of County Commissioners. Commissioner Robert Barr, a Republican, is running unopposed for the unexpired two-year term of E. Marie Hayes, who vacated the seat to become county surrogate.

There are two other seats up for election, with three-year terms, one held by Jeffrey Pierson, who opted not to run again, and one held by Will Morey, a Republican, who is running for reelection. There are two newcomers seeking seats – Melanie Collette, a Republican, and Patricia O’Connor, a Democrat.
