In surprise move, Elton Armady declines to run for citywide council seat

In an email to Democratic City Committee members on Wednesday, PDCC Chairman Adrian O. Mapp advised that Citywide Councilor at-large Elton Armady has decided not to run in the June Primary election.

Armady was appointed to fill the vacancy created when citywide at-large Councilor Rebecca Williams moved up to become a Union County Freeholder after Linda Carter went to the Assembly upon the passing of Assemblyman Jerry Green. This would have been a run for a full four year term in his own name.

Armady's withdrawal means that the screening committee (of which I wrote here) will present the chairman with another recommendation for the citywide at-large spot.

The Plainfield Democratic City Committee will meet Saturday (February 8) to confirm the selection of candidates for citywide at-large and Ward 3 for the June Democratic primary.

The meeting gets under way at 11:00 AM at Plainfield Democratic Headquarters at 31 Watchung Avenue (next to Antojito's Restaurant).

It is a longstanding custom of the PDCC to welcome guests as observers at its meetings.

Parking is available on the street on in the public lot adjacent to headquarters.
