Roxbury Attorney Heather Darling Takes Freeholder Oath; Fire Dept. Chiefs Sworn In
Roxbury lawyer Heather Darling is now a Morris County, New Jersey, Freeholder after beating three Republicans for the GOP nomination and then winning the county office against Democratic Party candidate Rozella Clyde, according to TapInto Roxbury.
The Republican, whose office is in Succasunna, was sworn-in to a 3-year term at the start of the board’s Friday, Jan. 5, reorganization session. Darling won election to the post in November. She replaces former Morris County Freeholder Hank Lyon, of Montville, who did not seek re-election.
Darling won the GOP nomination for the freeholder seat by defeating three other GOP candidates: Dave Scapicchio, Nicholas Platt and Mike Crispi. She then beat Democrat challenger Rozella Clyde in the general election.
Many county and statewide officials were in attendance including U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen; U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance, Morris County Sheriff Jim Gannon, State Sen. Tony Bucco, state Assemblyman Anthony Bucco, newly elected state Sen. Kristin Corrado and her running mate state Assemblyman-elect Chris DePhillips. Also there was Morris County Clerk Ann Grossi, Morris County Republican Club Finance Chairman Ron DeFilippis and former Morris County Young Republican Club Chairman Joseph Bock.
