In March, the courts ruled Morris Township's election a tie and ordered a special election. Grayzel campaigned against the "injustice and nepotism" on the 5-0 council. His campaign received substantial support from New Jersey for Democracy affiliate Morris County DFA, as well as members from other groups across the state.
