Statement of the Morris Plains Democratic Committee -- March 11, 2026
MORRIS PLAINS, NJ – The Morris Plains Democratic Committee (MPDC) was recently presented with two candidates wishing to run in the upcoming 2026 Primary Election for the Mayor of Morris Plains. Pursuant to its bylaws, MPDC provided notice to committee members and convened its Development & Candidate Search Committee to interview Mayor Jason Karr and Councilmember Nancy Verga. The committee members’ charge was to decide which mayoral candidate to recommend for MPDC’s endorsement.
​
On March 11, the Development Committee interviewed the two mayoral candidates. After the interviews, the committee members voted by anonymous ballot, resulting in the recommendation that Nancy Verga be endorsed by MPDC. This recommendation was presented on the same date for ratification by MPDC’s Executive Committee, pursuant to MPDC’s bylaws. The recommendation was ratified. As a result, Nancy Verga is now the Morris Plains Democratic Committee’s endorsed candidate for Mayor of Morris Plains in the upcoming Primary Election. She will run with the slogan “Morris County Democratic Committee, Inc.”
