The township's other political party meets for a picnic at a historic site.
Parsippany Democrats braved threateningly gray skies to come together for an anything but gloomy summer picnic Sunday afternoon at the historic Livingston-Benedict House on Old Parsippany Road. The annual event was organized by the township's Democratic Party. While the sun did not make more than a cursory appearance during the event, no rain fell at all, so spirits at the picnic remained high. The gathering, a laughter-filled potluck affair featuring burgers and dogs along with vegetarian and vegan fare, mostly was about fun and socializing. Conversations revolved around the Par-Troy East All-Stars, who are competing in the 2012 Little League World Series, township news, art appreciation and the history surrounding the Livingston-Benedict…

Nominating Jonathan Nelson as its candidate for the special Town Council election to be held in November, local Democrats showed a rare enthusiasm—and growing confidence. That ebullience was reflected in an address Morris County Democratic Committee Chairman Lewis Candura made at the gathering. "Morris County is changing," …

Candidate came out swinging against an administration he says has made the township "the laughingstock of Morris County."
Only weeks ago, Parsippany businessman Jonathan Nelson announced his bid to fill Freeholder John Cesaro's unexpired Town Council seat.
