Brauckmann, McCarthy Take Both Seats in Uncontested Race

Brauckmann is the current mayor while McCarthy is a political newcomer.

In the uncontested township committee race, current Mayor Don Brauckmann retained his seat and newcomer John McCarthy will be a new face on the dais. Current Committeeman John Rooney did not seek another term. According to unofficial election results, Brauckmann nabbed 4,951 votes while McCarthy received 4,947. The winners did not return calls for comment by presstime.  Cinnaminson Township is a committee-based government, which means residents vote for five committee members and those members appoint a mayor each year. McCarthy and Brauckmann ran unopposed in the election—an odd happening for a presidential year. Last year, Committeemen Ben Young and Anthony Minniti ran against three Independent candidates. No Democrats ran last year …

Peg. Since August I have turned a new leaf and have become a warm and fuzzy person. It was fine, now that I reflect, that the vehicle was on the grass. This past weekend I too parked my car in the grass so that I could get closer to the basketball court. Thank you for setting me straight as I move on with my new meds.......look at the grouse.......   more ›

No Independents File for Cinnaminson's Municipal Race

Republican candidates could run unopposed this November.

The deadline for those to file as independents in this year's municipal race has passed and according to the Burlington County Clerk's office, no one in Cinnaminson threw their hats in the ring. Last year, three independent candidates—Ken Gertie, Steve Fowles and Scott Lunn—ran against Republican incumbents Anthony Minniti and Ben Young. The incumbents retained their seats. Republican newcomer John McCarthy and current mayor Don Brauckmann are the two GOP candidates running for the two open seats on Cinnaminson Township Committee and unless primary results show a certain number of write-in votes for other candidates, they will run unopposed. After Tuesday's primary, the two chairs of the Cinnaminson Democrats—Jim Bernard and Bill O'Connor—…

GOP Names Brauckmann, McCarthy as Candidates

Committeeman John Rooney is not seeking a second term.

Cinnaminson Republicans announced two candidates including the township’s current mayor and a newcomer to round out the two committee seats up for grabs this November. The deadline to file for the June primary was Monday at 4 p.m. Don Brauckmann, a Moorestown police officer who was appointed mayor this year, will run for a second term. Joining him is John McCarthy, a sales executive with Sea Box. “There’s still a lot to accomplish,” Brauckmann said. “I still have a lot of ideas. I have a vision of the direction the township is going and there are still a lot of things I want to do.” Brauckmann, who is also the director of parks and recreation, joined township committee in 2009 and was appointed mayor by committee members earlier this year…
