Friedman pulls ahead for open seat on Voorhees Township Committee

Michael Friedman will continue to serve on the Voorhees Township Committee following the Nov. 5 general election. Friedman pulled ahead of his challenger, Democrat Kurt Stroemel on election night for the lone open seat on the Voorhees Township Committee.

Friedman pulled ahead by nearly 1,000 votes, according to the 2013 general district report of election results provided by Camden County’s website. According to the website, all election results are considered unofficial until they are certified.

Friedman, the Republican incumbent, garnered a total of 3848 votes, while Stroemel brought in only 2999 votes.

While Friedman will rejoin the committee for another term, the election results do little to effect the township committee’s majority, with Mayor Michael Mignogna, Deputy Mayor Harry Platt, Deputy Mayor Mario DiNatale and Committeewoman Andi Ayes all being members of the Democratic Party.
