Applications are now being accepted for the post of Camden County Clerk, which has been vacant since Jim Beach resigned last month to take a seat in the State Senate.  Beach and Donald Norcross, the Co-Chairmen of the Camden County Democratic Committee, have sent an e-mail to Democrats looking for candidate suggestions: "We are now seeking potential candidates for the County Clerk position.  We are looking for people with a commitment to public service, an interest in helping our community through tough times, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves and go to work for residents across the county.  The person chosen will be a county-wide candidate on the ballot this year."

Individuals seeking consideration should "send a cover letter and resume to christy@ccdems.org or (856) 424-5511 (fax).  The deadline for nominations is Friday, February 6th at 5pm."

Governor Jon Corzine must appoint an Acting County Clerk, with the advise and consent of the Senate.  There will be a special election to fill Beach's unexpired term in November 2009.
