"Gloucester County Commissioner Heather Simmons (D-Glassboro) will run for State Assembly in the 3rd district, where Democrats want to reclaim seats they unexpectedly lost two years ago.... The 54-year-old Simmons is the assistant vice president of Strategic Projects at Rowan University and is one of two Rowan officials to run for the Assembly this year..... Democrats had picked Simmons to run for freeholder in 2010 when incumbents Joseph Brigandi and Jean DuBois declined to seek re-election but lost the general election by 226 votes. Despite her defeat, Simmons still got to serve as a freeholder. About to begin his second year as Senate President, Sweeney resigned from the freeholder board, and Democrats picked Simmons as his replacement. She won a full three-year term in 2011 by 3,779 votes and was re-elected in 2014, 2017, and 2020."
