In one of the most interesting races, 10-term incumbent Republican Frank LoBiondo faces Democratic challenger William Hughes Jr. in an effort to retain his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Hughes is expected to be LoBiondo’s most formidable challenger since he took office in 1994. An Ocean City native and Atlantic City lawyer, Hughes, 46, hopes to win the Congressional seat held by his father from 1974 until LoBiondo took office.

Four candidates will vie for three seats on the Ocean City Board of Education.

The following candidates will be on the ballot:

Clark and Gallelli-Keyes are incumbents. The other vacant seat is currently held by Tiffany Prettyman, who will not run in the election.
