The results of the Lakewood elections are in, and Republican Michael D�Elia and Democrat Ray Coles are the winners in today�s primaries.

The Lakewood Township is run by five individuals comprising the �Township Committee,� each elected to a three-year term. Most of the decisions in the Township boil down to these five individuals.

Elections are staggered; meaning rather than electing all five members simultaneously, the residents elect a few at a time. This year, two of the five were up for re-election: Mayor Ray Coles, a Democrat; and Committeeman Mike D�elia, a Republican.
