Armahizer wins Raritan Dem mayoral primary against 46 years older
Democrats picked a young Marine veteran to challenge an interim GOP mayor in Raritan Township in a swing town.
Adam Amahizer, 27, defeated James Foohey, the 73-year-old council president, in Tuesday’s primary election, 232-198, a 54%-46% margin. He will face Mayor Donald Tozzi in the fall.
In 2022, Armahizer was elected to the borough council by seven votes. He did not seek re-election last year.
Tozzi became mayor after the unexpected resignation of Mayor Nicolas Carra. The race will be for Carra’s 13-month unexpired term.
