Meet the Union County Freeholder Candidates

Recently, the Union County Women's Political Caucus hosted “Meet the Candidates” at the Springfield Free Public Library this past Sunday. Candidates running in Union County were invited to attend and had an opportunity to speak before a large group followed by a Question and Answer period.  

Dorothy Burger, President of the UCWPC stated, “I am extremely pleased by the turnout and presentations of all the candidates that attended our annual Meet the Candidates event.” 

The Republican Candidates for Freeholder comprised of Marc Krauss, Mark Martini and Ira Geiger were the only full slate of candidates from any party in attendance. Missing from the event were incumbent Freeholder Chairwoman Linda Carter and Candidate Sergio Granados. Other candidates from Democrats for Change and Real Democrats for Change were also in attendance.

Mark Martini, said, “That it was pleasure to speak before the members of the UCWPC and the other candidates.”

Marc Krauss echoed Mark Martini’s sentiments and stated, “This is one of the rare moments in a campaign you are in a cordial setting with your opponents prior to any debates.” 

Ira Geiger said, “He was very appreciative to the UCWPC for holding this forum and what a wonderful opportunity it was.” 

The UCWPC is one of eight chapters of the New Jersey Women's Political Caucus and is a bipartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to increasing women's participation in the political field and creating a political power base designed to achieve equality for all women.
