Burlco GOP picks Farias

Burlington County Republicans are expected to endorse Freeholder Vincent Farias for Surrogate. Farias, a five-term Freeholder and former Mayor of Edgewater Park, will run for the seat being vacated by Elton Conda, an 86-year-old Republican who has held the post since 1966. If Farias wins, the Burlington GOP will hold a Special Election Convention in January to fill his seat on the Board of Freeholders; he would be up for election in 2007.
