Barnegat Light Council Incumbent’s Write-ins Eclipsed by Newcomer in Preliminary Tally Results

Longtime Barnegat Light Councilwoman Dorothy “Dottie” Reynolds did not get enough write-in votes to retain her seat in the Republican primary election, according to unofficial results listed by the Ocean County Clerk’s office.

With primary results not certified until June 19, voting tallies for Barnegat Light Borough Council showed incumbent Mary Ellen Foley earning the top number of votes overall and advancing to the general election ballot in November.
