CHATHAM, NJ - Chatham Township Mayor
Tracy Ness announced Monday that she has decided not to run for a second three-year term and said that she is endorsing former committee member Kathy Abbott to replace her as a member of the committee. My decision not to run again for Chatham Township Committee was made easier knowing that Kathy Abbott will be running for election for the open seat and is announcing her candidacy today, Ness said in her statement.
Abbott, who served as a Republican member of the Township Committee, from 2012 through 2014, will be running as a Democrat in the June 8 primary. Ness is also a Democrat.
