Plainfielders vie for Dem convention seats

Plainfielders will be among those vying to be delegates to the Democratic national convention pledged to their respective candidates.

Local Democrats will join other Jerseyans on February 5th in New Jersey's first stand-alone presidential primary.

Aspiring convention delegates' names have been submitted to the Division of Elections, and they will appear beneath the candidate to whom they are pledged.

The complete statewide list appears on NJPoliticker this morning (see more here).

Here are the relevant Union County candidates --

Twelfth Democratic District (parts of Essex, Morris, Middlesex, Somerset and Union counties) --

• Obama: Rashid A. Burney of Plainfield, Rebecca Florence Widdick of Clark, and Anthony K. Ogawa of Mountainside;
  
  
• Kucinich: Laurie E. Thomas of Madison and Geoffrey S. Thomas;
  
  
• Clinton: David Morales of Plainfield, Tom Barrett of Short Hills, and Anna Sutton of Plainfield;
  
  
• Edwards: Nathan Rudy of North Plainfield, Abby Kalan of Millburn, and Nicholas Scutari of Linden.

Eleventh District (parts of Middlesex and Union counties) --

• Obama: Neil M. Cohen of Roselle, Julie Diaz of Perth Amboy, and Kim Nesbitt Good of Elizabeth;
  
  
• Clinton: Joe Vas of Perth Amboy, Joanne Rajoppi of Union, and Rosa Diaz of Carteret;
  
  
• Edwards: Joe Vitale.

Delegates names will appear beneath those of the candidate to whom they are pledged. While a voter may think they are voting for Hillary or Barack or whomever, in reality the voter is voting for these candidates.
