Democratic candidates for Little Egg Harbor Township Committee Gabriel Franco and Shaun Moran are running against two long-time Republican incumbents, Deputy Mayor John Kehm and Committeeman Ray Gormley.

Franco and Moran are confronting the all-Republican committee on the platform of breaking up entrenched politicos, and greater transparency and professionalism in government.

Both men are passionate about politics and raising the bar for those less fortunate in society.
