Courier-Post Editorial Board

In South Jersey's most heavily Democratic legislative district, it's been awhile since there's been an election that featured a real choice for voters between a strong Democratic slate of candidates and a strong Republican slate.

Well, this year is no different. Democrats Donald Norcross and Angel Fuentes of Camden are running to replace long-time Assembly members Joe Roberts and Nilsa Cruz-Perez. Norcross -- the labor leader, Camden County Democratic Party co-chairman and brother of South Jersey Democratic Party boss George Norcross -- and Fuentes -- the Camden City Council president -- are candidates who know the issues well and would be able to hit the ground running in Trenton if elected despite being freshmen lawmakers. They get our endorsement.

The race for three seats on the Camden County Freeholder Board isn't much of a race. The Democratic ticket features a strong slate of candidates, veteran freeholder Jeff Nash, single-term incumbent Rod Greco and newcomer Ian Leonard. All three know the issues and have plans for making county government more efficient.

On the Republican side there's . . . well, there are question marks. Of the three GOP candidates on the ballot, only Nick Kush, a custodian from Runnemede with no political experience, appears to be actively campaigning enough to come in for an interview. And he's simply not ready for the office. His so-called running mates, Anthony Casa and Carl Canfield, may not even be interested in running -- our attempts to reach them were unsuccessful and they never contacted the Courier-Post, or Kush, about their campaign.

WOODBURY -- A Camden mainstay and a labor union president turned politician are the two Democrats running for two open 5th District Assembly seats in November.

Angel Fuentes and Donald Norcross both have made their marks in Camden and said they hope to represent the legislative district that covers Deptford, Westville, Woodbury and Woodbury Heights in a meeting with the Times editorial board Tuesday.

"I don't think we could ever have enough people in the electoral process that care about working families," said Norcross, who is head of the Southern New Jersey AFL-CIO Central Labor Council.

Even though much of the 5th District lies in Camden County, Camden City itself included, both Norcross and Fuentes agree that the issue of utilizing taxpayers' money effectively stretches to the Gloucester County towns.
