Q&A: candidates for city board of commissioners, Fieldsboro mayor, council EdITEd by JOE EMaNSKI
It’s a new era in Bordentown City, as voters will this year choose three members of the Board of City Commissioners in November instead of May, as they have done in the past. Voters supported a referendum last November authorizing that the election be moved, and that change was implemented by the board this year. Five candidates are running for seats on the three-member board, with all three seats up for a four-year term on Election Day, Nov. 4. Of the two current members of the board, only Mayor Jennifer Sciortino is running for a new term. Deputy Mayor Joe Myers has opted against running again. The third seat is currently vacant. In Bordentown Township, only one seat is up for grabs on the township committee, and there is just one candidate for that seat: Democrat Eugene M. Fuzy, who is currently serving as
deputy mayor. In Fieldsboro, there will be a new mayor after borough council member John Errigo defeated incumbent mayor Dave Hansell in the Democratic primary in June. Three candidates are running for two seats on borough council. The Bordentown Current surveyed the candidates running for contested seats. Their bios and responses to our questions are below.

Goalkeeper Allie Glenn in action for Bordentown High soccer.
Glenn right where she belongs for BRHS soccer by JUSTIN FEIL Allie Glenn tried all the positions on the soccer field while she was growing up, but where she felt most like herself was in goal. Now she can’t imagine playing anywhere else. “I was kind of more okay with hanging in the back and not scoring as much and being okay with being that position,” Glenn said. “That’s that last line of defense and trying to keep the ball out the net. And I think that really helped with my confidence. It didn’t help just

on the field. It helped a lot off the field with like school and like other things going on. So I think just having that natural ability come on to me, it really helped all around.” A senior in her fourth year with the Bordentown Regional High School girls soccer team, Glenn’s experience and attitude are invaluable to the Scotties. She has taken on new challenges each year, from unexpectedly starting as a freshman, to playing a mostly back-up role in an injury-plagued sophomore year, to starting every game See KEEPER, Page 16
