Barrett is leading candidate for Crabiel's seat

The Middlesex County Democratic Committee will hold a special election convention to fill the seat of veteran Freeholder David Crabiel, who passed away earlier this month at age 78.

Middlesex Democratic sources say that Carol Barrett is the leading candidate to replace David Crabiel on the Middlesex County Board of Freeholders.  Barrett, a veteran South Brunswick Councilwoman, has also served as President of AFSCME Local #3440. 

If Barrett gets the Freeholder seat, she’ll have to resign her municipal office.  South Brunswick Democrats would recommend three names for her seat, and the Council will pick one to serve her unexpired term.
