Ex-New Jersey Mayor Accused of Using Fake Signatures for Primary Election Months After Pleading Guilty to DUI
Investigators say the petition lacked enough valid signatures without the alleged forgeries, and both defendants face multiple election-related charges.
- On Monday, August 10, Lumberton Township Committeewoman Gina LaPlaca and her husband, Jason Carty, were charged with fraudulently placing LaPlaca on the June 2026 Democratic primary ballot.
- The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office initiated the investigation after multiple residents reported their names appeared on LaPlaca's nominating petition without authorization; officials state that without fraudulent signatures, her petition would have lacked required signatures to qualify.
- Carty submitted the petition to the Lumberton Township Municipal Clerk with an affidavit where LaPlaca swore she "personally circulated the petition that such petition was signed by each of the signers thereof in his/her own handwriting." Both collected signatures.
- LaPlaca faces charges including fourth-degree making a false statement under oath and third-degree knowingly filing a false petition; Carty faces similar counts. Both are scheduled for a first Superior Court appearance in Mount Holly on September 21.
- Earlier this year, LaPlaca was sentenced to three years in a diversionary program after pleading guilty to DUI and child abuse charges. She remains a committeewoman, though it is unclear if she will continue in her position following these latest charges.
