Dear John —

We are deeply saddened at the loss of Doug Romaine, one of our great ones and a longtime supporter of the Morris County Democratic Party, who passed away peacefully on June 18, 2024.

Doug holds a spot in history, as the only Democrat ever elected to the County Board (when they were still called Freeholders) in 1973, serving for one term. He was a local activist and served as the Rockaway Municipal Chair and ran for local Council several times, getting closest in 2017.

Doug mentored and supported many, and helped pave the way for current Council members Jonathan Sackett and Manny Friedlander to win their seats. Doug was welcoming and warm to newcomers in county politics, sharing stories and offering advice. He stayed outspoken and involved, nearly to the end. We will miss him deeply and send our condolences to family and friends who are grieving his loss.

Family and friends may pay their respects on Friday, June 21, 2024 from 5-8 PM at Maguire Memorial Home & Cremation Services, 124 High Street, Hackettstown, NJ 07840.

Memorial service will immediately follow the visitation at 8:00 PM in the funeral home. Read the full obituary here.

Doug Romaine was the last Democrat to win at the County level in Morris County, and this year is our chance to do so again.

Join us TONIGHT, Thursday, 6:30 PM, at Jockey Hollow restaurant in Morristown for our "County Campaign Kickoff & Awards Night!" for Jonathan Sackett, Justin Strickland, and William "Bud" Ravitz.

We will present awards honoring these amazing Democratic elected officials: former Morris Township Mayor Cathy Wilson, the late Boonton Councilwoman Dr. Edina Renfro-Michel, and the late Morristown Council President Sandi Mayer.
