Pennacchio retirement signals big shift in Morris County GOP politics

Morris County Republicans, already bracing for change on the county and local level after a "Blue Wave" midterm election, are facing another seismic shift in the political landscape, this time from within their own party. State Sen. Joseph Pennacchio, the conservative Republican firebrand who has represented much of Morris County in District 26 since 2001, announced his retirement on Nov. 10, effective at the end of his current term in January 2028. His statement set off a flurry of campaign announcements from other Morris Republicans seeking his Senate seat and other higher offices. “I have entered the seventh decade of my life, and I have been doing this for a long time," Pennacchio told the Daily Record. “After much thought and reflection, I have come to the decision that my service in elected office should draw to an end with the completion of my current term.” Soon after Pennacchio made his announcement, longtime Republican District 26 Assemblyman Jay Webber made his own declaration that he would run for Pennacchio's Senate seat in the 2027 election, when all 40 Senate and 80 Assembly seats are on the ballot. Webber, who has served in the Assembly since 2008, ran for Congress in

Madison blanks Pompton Lakes for second straight field hockey title

POMPTON LAKES − Madison needed less than 60 minutes to accomplish what 19 other teams failed to do over Pompton Lakes' first 23 games of the season. Fueled by two first-half goals from sophomore Summer Graziano and a dominant defense performance, the Dodgers shut out Pompton Lakes, 4-0 in the North, Group 1 final on Nov. 11 at Lakeside Middle School, repeating as sectional champions and securing the 18th sectional crown in program history. The result was even more impressive considering Pompton Lakes (19-3-2) had allowed just four goals all season entering the championship match. Madison (18-6) matched that total in a single afternoon while becoming just the third team to shut out the Cardinals this fall. “It was so important for us to get those early goals. It’s a big win for us, especially coming back from the hard loss in the [Morris] county final,” Graziano said. “It’s big for our team and our seniors who really want to go all the way. Now we get to continue to play in the states, which is a lot of fun.” Graziano put Madison in front with 4:45 remaining in the first quarter, then struck again just over four minutes into

Blue Devils Flip the Script and Finish on Top of Raiders in Sectional Semifinals

Going into the fifth round of penalty kicks, Westfield was leading 4-3. When the Scotch Plains-Fanwood player shot the ball, it was do-or-die; if he made it, the pressure would shift back to Westfield, but if he missed it, his season would end. Westfield junior goalkeeper Dominik Kotowicz waited for the shot and read it perfectly, falling on top of the ball. No goal. Westfield survives penalty kicks and secures a semifinal victory to advance to the state finals.
