Ex-congressional candidate (D) will run for Hunterdon county commissioner
Jason Blazakis, a former U.S. Department of State official who briefly ran for Congress in 2024, will seek the Democratic nomination for Hunterdon County Commissioner.
He wants to oppose Republican Shaun Van Doren, the incumbent since 2017.
A counterterrorism and economic sanctions expert who grew up in Warren County and now lives in Lambertville, Blazakis joined the race to take on Rep. Thomas Kean, Jr. (R-Westfield) in New Jersey’s 7th district in June 2023; he withdrew from the race in February 2024, just before the start of county convention seasons.
Former Flemington Councilwoman Caitlin Giles-McCormick will take on veteran County Clerk Mary Melfi.
