5 Candidates Vie for Seats on Moorestown BOE

Five people will vie for three open seats on the Moorestown Board of Education this fall.

Incumbents Kathy Goldenberg and Matthew Simeone—seeking their third and second terms, respectively—will be joined on the ballot by Kimberley Kersey, Albert Panzarella and Joseph Ruccolo.

Kersey is a former Mount Holly councilwoman. She ran unsuccessfully for Burlington County freeholder in 2009.

Panzarella is a member of the township's Recreation Advisory Committee and a trustee with MooreKids. 

Ruccolo, a former U.S. Army serviceman, ran unsuccessfully for the board of education last fall. 

Board Member Kevin O'Sullivan, who is coming to the end of his first term, opted not to run for reelection for personal reasons.

In other election news, Tuesday's primary went pretty much as expected. 

There was no municipal race this year, and there were no surprises in the other contests.
