Former Mayor Faces Election Fraud Charges | Wilmington News

Former Lumberton Township mayor Gina LaPlaca and her husband Jason Carty face fresh charges after prosecutors uncovered a petition riddled with fake signatures that helped get LaPlaca on the ballot — signatures from people who swore they never signed or authorized anyone to sign for them. This scandal compounds her recent legal woes, including a guilty plea in a DUI case where she drove with a BAC over three times the limit while her child was in the car. Both are set for court on September 21, with charges of perjury and tampering with public records — a high-stakes moment that could reshape her political future in this small New Jersey town.
