Many voters in the Morris County-dominated 26th Legislative District may be surprised to see that for the first time, Republicans have a formal county line endorsing two candidates for the state Assembly.
They may also be surprised to see that longtime GOP incumbents Jay Webber and BettyLou DeCroce do not share that favored line.
DeCroce is running on her own after the Morris County Republican Committee voted the county line on the primary ballot to Webber and Christian Barranco, a former Pompton Lakes councilman now living in Jefferson.

On the rainy night of April 11, 1929, former Roxbury Police Chief Fred Plumstead died while riding his town-issued 1927 Harley-Davidson police cycle home from a court appearance in Newark, according to his obituary.
Plumstead, a 29-year-old Kenvil resident and father of five young daughters, couldn’t stop in time to avoid a truck stopped on a road in Mine Hill while its operator worked on its lights, said the obituary.
