Template:NJ Sussex County Commissioners
Sussex County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners whose five members are elected at-large in partisan elections on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year. At an annual reorganization meeting held in the beginning of January, the board selects a Commissioner Director and Deputy Director from among its members, with day-to-day supervision of the operation of the county delegated to a County Administrator.[1] As of 2024[update], Sussex County's Commissioners are Director Jill Space (R, Wantage Township, 2025),[2] Deputy Director Chris Carney (R, Frankford Township, 2024),[3] Jack DeGroot (R, Sussex, 2026),[4] William Hayden (R, Branchville, 2025)[5] and Earl Schick (R, Newton, 2024).[6][7]
